How do you remove Smart quotes from Long Edit Boxes in PeopleSoft?

Hi All.

Does anyone know how to remove smart quotes and then to replace with the actual character into a PeopleSoft long edit box?  The smart quote gets converted into an inverted question mark inside the long edit box (this occurs when a user does a copy/paste from Microsoft Word).  I found a great article, https://www.cedarhillsgroup.com/knowledge-base/kbarticles/removing-word-smart-quotes-on-peoplesoft-pages/.  However, I cannot get the JavaScript to execute to remove and replace the smart quotes.  The smart quote always gets converted to the inverted question mark (i.e., ¿).  I have followed the instructions and used the JavaScript code listed in the article, but nothing seems to change -- the inverted question mark does not get changed to the straight quote.  It does not seem the JavaScript code is executing for me.  I must be missing something or doing something wrong. 

Howdy, Stranger!
