Huh, that's strange. I've been using FF3 for all my Dandelife postings and haven't had any problems yet. What are you trying to do when you get the strange characters?

I’m often use word to write and ten just copy into FF. I gonna try more stuff.

Word is my nemesis. Many a night up late battle the old copy-and-paste from word bug. Ack!

I found if you use "Notepad" as an in-between, it works fairly well. Adds a little tedium to the process, but it works.

Yes, I tried with it or even wordpad. Both are working. I going to try to find a code cleaner for word (it add a lot of scap)

Just a quick Q: http://flickr.com/photos/kga245/2621672320/ Have you tried using that button to "clean" your copy-pasted-from-word text yet?

Oh yes, I'm blind sometimes. Thanks, I gonna try for next stoty!

I saw your story from today. Looks like some artifacts came along with the copy paste. Or no?

I like to use Word because I’m not bilingual and the integrated dictionary helps me to correct some mistakes. If I use IE I lose all the tabulations, fonts and paragraph’s settings. I use Vista and I tried with my other computer on XP with the same result. And with IE I do not have any option for editing my text. I have to check all the security options. As I can’t use the office computer for reading or writing (I do not trust office privacy since 4 or 5 years) I probably retype the text in direct writing in Dandelife in waiting to find the problem.
If I look the HTML code I do not see that scrap. Really strange! Computers hate me since a few months!
