All right... as I suspected the characters got replaced in the email... so I put it in a WORD DOCUMENT (ironic).
Go to: http://www.austin-williams.com/word_character_parsing.doc and download that file. There are a couple of strings that will parse most WORD docs successfully enough. Just copy/past the code in to your CF edtor. Hope that helps. Robert B.

Word is always an issue, but if you're using a form text field, here's a couple of CF Replace functions you can run strings through deal with Word characters. I've used this for awhile and it seems to deal very reliably with the most predictable crap that comes from word. This email may mess this up... if it does I'll post a file so you can download the strings. Putting data that has been cut/paste from word into a DB, run the following on the text field to prepare it for HTML. '#ReplaceList(trim(form.txt1), "',.,",",T,R,C,#chr(13)#,<br>,","'',...,"","",™,®,©,<br />,")#' Pulling data from DB, run the following on output to be displayed in a text field: #ReplaceList(trim(getrecord.txt1),"™,®,©,<br />","T,R,C,#chr(13)#")# Robert B.
