Default Puzzling quotes around text

I opened a CSV comma-delimited file in Excel 2000. Then I edited one of
its columns, typically deleting parts at the start and end. These included
some 'non-printing' characters (small rectangles, etc).

When viewed in a text editor, some of these text strings are "surrounded
by quotes", yet others are not.

Can someone explain please?
