Title: Strange characters in pages after edit.
Post by: chinaren on January 23, 2009, 10:46:45 pm

Me again.

I've just started using the EZB pages, and discovered a problem.

I'm cutting and pasting stuff from a Word document, and it goes into the page fine and saves and displays fine.

However, if I go in and edit it, strange characters suddenly pop up. 

You can see an example here:

Any ideas?  I can re-cut and paste, but it makes it hassle if I need to edit all the time.

Word documents would do it since they contain special characters.
Here is what I do when ever I need to get a clean copy of word characters.
I copy from word then open notepad then paste in notepad. Copy from notepad to the form.

Ah, okay I'll try that.  Thanks.

Though why do they work the first time, and only blow up when I edit and save them?
