Funny characters in pasted text

Hi

When I write text in MS Word and paste it into an UltraFormattedTextEditor field I get characters like &edsp;&edsp in the field. What is the problem and how can I fix it?

Many Thanks

Regards

Yahya

    Hi Yahya,

    The behavior you see is normal, because the Ms Word documents contains formatting for the text that you type there. The symbols that you see are actuality format symbols.
    So my suggestion to fix that problem is to use editor that doesn’t contain formatting. Or you can just copy the text form MS Word to Notepad and copy it from there, this will clean the formatting set form MS Word and you will get the clean text.

    I hope this helps.
