Whatever you’re trying to copy and paste contains nonstandard characters, like fancy quotes or em dashes. Post a link instead and we can read the story at the original source. ---

Thanks, I didn’t think there was anything special, at least not showing. It was a quote from an email newsletter. Danny ---

If you do want to post the article itself, it can be done but it takes some work on your part. Method 1 Go through the article and replace all long dashes with the dash on your keyboard. Replace all curly quotation marks (both single and double) with the quotation mark shown on your keyboard. Replace any accented letters with the regular letter on your keyboard Method 2 Copy-and-paste your text into a blank word processor file (I’m using Word. The following steps may be different in your word processor) File, save as select MS Dos. You’ll get a message saying the text mark in red will not save correctly Close the file you just saved and open again. Make any changes necessary Copy-and-paste into your posting. ---

THANKS… That will be the best way, I didn’t think about that. WhenI look at it, I don’t see any of those things that you mentioned. Danny ---

Frank, I changed the double apostrophes to single and the below looks OK. > [@Joseph98053](#): > > is it legal/would it be permitted for a U.S. airline to fly between two points in a foreign nation/s? Unless you’re talking about Texas. Then it’s called the Southwest Rule. ---
