It should work.
These are my Registry entries and they all have the same flavour:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Xara\XtremePro x64\10\Options\TextTool
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Xara\XtremePro x64\11\Options\TextTool
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Xara\XtremePro x64\12\Options\TextTool
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Xara\WebDesignerPremium x64\10\Options\TextTool
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Xara\WebDesignerPremium x64\11\Options\TextTool
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Xara\WebDesignerPremium x64\12\Options\TextTool
UseSmartQuotes takes the setting of 1 for on and 0 for off.
No need to reboot.
I would use the XaReg25 utility to avoid playing with the Registry: Xareg25 > Text: untick Smart Quotes.

It would be nice to have some keyboard command to toggle this on and off so you can avoid things like the attached.
I resort to copy and paste from character map to get the tick marks instead of curly quotes but it should be easier, like Ctrl Alt . for a proper ellipse or Ctrl Alt c for ©, etc.

make sure that the program is closed before you do this, whether you do it with regedit or xareg, otherwise it will not work because the registry will not update whilst the program is open

As I don't use Facebook, I cannot confirm this link but it is visible on zaphodeist's TG Profile.
