Special Character And Extra Spaces

[WEBDavid]

Hi All,

This may be a simple problem to fix (i hope) but my searching has found
nothing.

When i publish documents from word to contribute i get extra gibberish in the
place of extra spaces and special characters like dash(?).

extra space = Â
dash = â??

Hopefully theres a setting i'm missing that will fix the problem.

I am working with big documents that contain garphics so exporting to txt
format isn't an option.

Thanks in advance for the help.
Cheers
David

I have now worked out the it is the Auto-Formatting in word that is causing the
head aches. The dash's can be fixed with a simple find an replace but the
white space is still a major problem.

Any thoughts?

After further experimentation and a close fix i have found the the pages look
fine with a html extension but contain the gibberish when they have a cfm
extension.

Obviously when the files go through the coldfusion server something happens.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
