Computers automatically insert these bizarre characters when they detect
seething hatred and personal attacks.  I notice these characters a lot in
your posts.  The solution to the problem is a nontechnical one.

Could any computer guru's help on this problem?  I frequently use Microsoft
Word to compose my emails, rather than tie up our phone line or hog Internet
access in a home full of people with plenty to say, google, etc.  AOL is my
online company.  When I cut and paste from a Word document into an email
document instead of actually transferring quotation marks for example, I get
junky ampersands etc.  I don't ever see this "symbolic" transfer myself, but
Joan and others tell me it makes for a lousy read.  

I can't use the email composer in Word because, I am told, Word doesn't have
that option with AOL....which I guess makes sense because Word would prefer
that I use MSN.

Has anyone else had this problem, and how did you solve it?

Thanks

Rose
