Copy past from work file problems

[yogananth]

Ok, i have a site www.asanajournal.com that lets users read free articles. when i copy and paste a whole lot of text from a work document to the bluevoda it shows some unrecognised symbol in places the short words (where can't or don't) are used. is it like i have to correct it one by one or remove all the can't and change to cannot?

please see the link below and click on the 2nd article and read more and you can see the errors in the texts.

any one help?

thanks

Re: Copy past from work file problems

Please note that Word adds invisible formatting characters that are not supported by other software (and certanly not by HTML)

Anyway, I tried to reproduce the problem (by copying / pasting can't and don't from Word) and can't reproduce the problem, it pastes fine for me.

Maybe the encoding type (character set) used in the particular Word documents is not supported.

Try copying / pasting in Notepad first and if it pastes there correctly, do a through-Notepad copy / paste. Notepad strips off any Word formatting characters.
