    Hello everybody,
    after using some strings copied from a MS Word document as post title, I’ve noticed that certain characters are not converted to make a nice and working slug, for example the ‘–’ from MS Word ( that is not related with the – in the keyboard ) is converted in ‘%e2%80%93’ in my slug, that make the post unaccessible from url.

    Does anybody noticed the same?

    Thanks

    Don’t paste content from Microsoft Word into WordPress as the pasted text will also contain Word’s own formatting. Sooner or later, this formatting will stop your pages from being displayed correctly (if at all) in Internet Explorer. If you cannot possibly manage without Word, paste your text into NotePad (or another text editor) first, then copy from NotePad into WordPress.

    Or use the inbuilt Paste from Word option in the Visual Editor. Or Windows LiveWriter.
