Link back to TBN and cut and pasting from MS Word

[Mosey]

Is there a link back to TBN from CBN?

When I type something up in MS Word and then cut and past it into here, the apostrophe and quote characters come out as control codes, like this

Apostrophe: ’ and quotes: “”

I do this all the time on TBN (so MS Word can spell check for me) with no problem.

I think we'll be able to fix this eventually, but the reason this is happening, is that MS Word convers straight/plain text apostrophes and quotes, to curly ones. If you use straight quotes, it will post fine.

From the MS Word help file:

Change curly quotes to straight quotes and vice versa
Microsoft Word automatically changes straight quotation marks to curly quotes as you type. You might not want curly quotes in some cases, for example, if you're using quotation marks to designate feet and inches. To turn this feature on or off:

On the Tools menu, click AutoCorrect, and then click the AutoFormat As You Type tab.

Under Replace as you type, select or clear the "Straight quotes" with "smart quotes" check box.

Note: You can find and replace all instances of single or double curly quotes with straight quotes in your document. To do this, clear the "Straight quotes" with "smart quotes" check box on the AutoFormat As You Type tab. On the Edit menu, click Replace. In both the Find what and Replace with boxes, type ' or ", and then click Find Next or Replace All.

To replace all straight quotes with curly quotes, select the "Straight quotes" with "smart quotes" check box, and repeat the find and replace procedure.

OK, thanks for the MS Word training! I have no problem with just switching to straight quotes, I don't need that fancy stuff anyway.
