Incorrect apostrophe character in MS Word 2011 on Mac

Incorrect apostrophe character in MS Word 2011 on Mac

I'm using Word for Mac 2011. When using the default font - Cambria - extra spaces appear when I type an apostrophe followed by another character. See the screenshot at:

As you can see in the screenshot, the font for the apostrophe character (which includes a big space after it) isn't actually Cambria; instead, it's
MS 明朝 (Body Asian)
It seems that Cambria automatically uses this font for apostrophes, and that the apostrophe character for this font includes the extra space.
How should I go about fixing this so that apostrophes appear correctly? I'm guessing it might be some kind of font conflict, but I'm not sure: and I don't know how to fix font conflicts, in any case.
