They're called "smart quotes", which is an MS word piece of amusement for us all. I've created a tag called cf_cleanmstext.cfm which converts these to normal versions and also strips out all of that Microsoft XML tags nonsense (smart tags, styles, etc.) You can try it out and download it here: http://www.tazmedia.co.uk/software/tags/try_cleanmstext.cfm Taz ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Signup for the Fusion Authority news alert and keep up with the latest news in ColdFusion and related topics. http://www.fusionauthority.com/signup.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
