As docx  is really a XML format, is it an option to load your data as XML
and using <![CDATA[your special characters or the whole text]]>.

Subject: [Flashcoders] Can I display slanted quotes in a textField?

I've never dealt too carefully with the appearance of text. As a developer,
that was always the designer's problem. Fortunately, I've always worked with
designers who accommodated my - and Flash's - limitations, and let me import
.txt files and re-create their formatting as best I could using TextFormat
objects.

Now, I'm importing poems from Word .docx files. The poet has used slanted
quotes and apostrophes. He's mighty picky about the appearance of his work.
I'll point out that I'm already passing the txt through a routine that
strips the carriage-returns, leaving only the linefeeds, so that I get
proper line distribution. I can substitute normal ascii vertical quotes,
etc, but he likes the way it looks as he did it. 

Short of making jpgs of his pages (and there are 1000 of them), can I
display them as he wishes? 

Any help will be gratefully appreciated.

Thanks,
Paul Freedman
