If i copy and paste out of Microsoft Word, commas or quotes on a comment reply look like this below. How do i specify encoding.
"test", - 'test'
LOOKS LIKE THIS
“testâ€, - ‘test’

Pasting from Ms Word is always buggy as together with the text an enormous quantity of garbage coding is adding...
However, your issue is not only the garbage characters, but also an encoding issue.
I would guess that your blog is set to UTF-8 charset (which is good), but that your server is configured to impose an ISO charset for your files.
If you show me your URL I could confirm this.
Hi Mihai, unfortunately i can't because it's on our intranet, is there anything else i can give you to confirm it?

Try putting this on the .htaccess file from inside your blog root folder:
Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8
word uses curly quotes which rarely work on anything other than IE, just paste into notepad then copy/paste from there to MT
Rather than using Word have you looked at Microsoft Live Writer? Gives you a word style interface that can publish straight to the blog without the issues around copying and pasting.
Mihai, whereabouts is the .htaccess file? I don't see that in the root of the MT folder? I also noticed that i can use PublishCharset iso-8859-1 in the mt.config file and i tried that but that didn't work.
Richard/Kenny, the problem is that when others comment they are copying and pasting into the comment box. I can't control all the people in our company and tell them not to use notepad.
