EndNote uses the ` character to start and stop literal text in our style
formatting.  This is described in the manual chapter on styles, in the
section on special formatting characters.  In brief, it's a way to include
field names in the styles without having them replaced by the contents of
that field (for instance, 4th edition would look like this in the style:
edition `edition`). We may make an exception for `` in future versions of
EndNote.

We have a different way of doing typographic quotes, which is to use the
extended ASCII characters.

                      Macintosh          PC (see note below)

open double quote     option-[           Alt-211
close double quote    option-shift-[     Alt-212
open single quote     option-]           Alt-212
close single quote    option-shift-]     Alt-213

PC Note: these options only work if your word processor and printer can
handle the extended characters.

Obviously, this will not solve your problem if you expect to take your LaTeX
file to unix for formatting and printing.  In that case, I would recommend
that you use some other unique string, such as ~~ and then do a
search-and-replace in a word processor to find that string and replace it
with `` after EndNote formatting and before LaTeX formatting.
