Converting text to table " symbol changes columns

$

When I create a parts list from tab delimited text, the " (quote) symbol moves to the next column when it is the last character in a column. I noticed this when I changed to Windows 7 using Frame 7.2, the problem also occurs in Frame 11.

 

My process starts with a text file of a parts list; the text is imported into Access and the output save as a table in an.rtf file. I copy the table text from the .rtf file and past it (paste special, text) into FrameMaker. I select the text and convert the text to a table using a table format I created for this process. The " symbols stays in the correct column each step of the way until I paste the text into a Frame document, the " symbol moves to the other side of the tab symbol. The process has been working fine for years up until I upgraded to Windows 7.

 

As a test I've converted the rtf table to tab delimited text and the " symbol is on the left side of the tab symbol; when I copy and paste the text into Frame the " symbol is on the right side of the tab.

 

For example;

 

Description     Quantity

FITTING 1/2"        2

 

becomes:

 

Description     Quantity

FITTING 1/2        " 2
