Does this read correctly to everyone?

When I read it, there are many "symbols" among the text... certainly not the way it was written. Is anyone else seeing the same thing? I'm wondering if it's actually in my original post, or if it's the way Explorer is interpreting it now....

I compose my posts in Word if they're longer than a paragraph and then paste it over. Is there something I'm missing?

Sorry about this question being in this particular forum, but it obviously makes more sense to keep it within this thread...

I was wondering about that. Your initial post has weird punctuation, but the current post works fine. Hmm... I hate troubleshooting this sort of thing if I'm not in front of the machine!

Try saving the Word file as .txt, see if it looks right there, then try pasting it in. This would at least give us some info. What OS are you using?

OK, I figured it out. It's Word's smart quotes. It changes regular apostrophies and quote makrs into ones that curl into or out of the surrounding text. `` as opposed to '' (a very rough approximation). If you turn off smart quotes in Auto Correct, that should fix it.

Cool!

Thanks- I wasn't even looking for help, just curious if others saw it the same way! It probably just makes sense to save as a .txt to ensure nothing carries over.

I have a lame keyboard that needs to be taken out and shot. I end up missing a pretty high percentage of characters, yet have no problems on any of my other keyboards. It makes spell check and therefore Word a necessity!

Thanks again!

No problem. Probably easier just to turn off smart quotes, though.
