No - standard text field. That doesn't mean they couldn't copy-and-paste from something else but, given the size of the answers (they are enteriing county names, one, maybe two), I find that very unlikely.

If so then your users are probably copying and pasting content from WORD and thus you get al the word markup. You need to do some auto cleanup of the content to avoid this, CKEDITOR has this built in.
