Hi Larry,
The best thing to do is install a JavaScript component called Tiny
MCE. Essentially it's a WYSIWYG, and gives the user full
functionality over the text entered. It's a great way to add that Web
2.0 Component to a site and best of all it's free and very easy to use.

That will translate the textarea box content into html code. It also
has a feature called "Paste from Word" which will take care of this
issue.
Hope that helps!
Kaustav

I have a web app where our engineers sometimes cut and paste from
their Microsoft Word documents or from emails that they have in
their mailbox. This is causing problems because of the Microsoft
Word "Smart Quotes" getting converted to strange characters, like
an upside down question mark. As for the cut and paste
emails...the FROM address in the pasted emails sometimes has
something like <someone's email address>. The brackets seem to be
confusing Witango and I sometimes get garbage at the top of the web
page that is being built. Also, in a simple test that I did by
cutting and pasting the sentence "This is a word inside brackets:
<oracle>", the resulting page had "This is a word inside brackets:"
followed by blanks. So, did Witango take that as a Metatag? Is
there away to get around this?
Thanks for any response,
