 * Oh…. and I did change from select to checkbox and ironically that works… unfortunately,
   I need the select option not the checkbox

 * Guys
 * I think I fixed this… but I have never actually edited a plugin in my life and
   have no clue what I am doing… so if someone can check on this that would be great.
   I saw in search-autocomplete/searchautocomplete.php this line
 *     ```
       $results[$index]['title'] = htmlspecialchars_decode( $result['title'] );
       In researching... I think what is supposed to be used is html_entity_decode()
       See documentation here - http://php.net/html_entity_decode
       ```
   
 * So… I tried this… and it worked! Basically we got to decode UTF-8.
 *     ```
       $results[$index]['title'] = html_entity_decode(htmlspecialchars_decode( $result['title'] ),ENT_COMPAT, 'UTF-8');
       ```
   
 * Maybe we don’t need to wrap that around the htmlspecialchars_decdoe funtion… 
   maybe it is supposed to be used in place of it… but I’m going to keep the above
   because it seems to work.

 * My server was ignoring query strings. So unless Contact Form 7 Dynamic Text Extension
   utilizes JavaScript… none of my parameters can be picked up. This is why google
   analytics would work (uses JavaScript), but Contact Form 7 Dynamic Text Extension
   doesn’t (uses POST or GET i believe)

 * I am starting to think this has to do with database caching through a CDN. I 
   am trying to grab google analytics using parameters such as “utm_source=something”
   and “utm_medium=something”. It must be working correctly as I can go to the link
   and it shows in google analytics… but for some reason, this plugin cannot grab
   those parameters (unless I am logged into wordpress). So I am thinking it could
   be a caching issue with query parameters… but then wouldn’t it not work for google
   analytics?

 * Additional testing.
 * I disabled all plugins except for contact Form & and Contact Form 7 Dynamic Extension.
   When logged in it worked, when not logged in it didn’t. I then tested with a 
   different user who was an editor on a different computer… same thing.
 * So Dynamictext and Dynamichidded only work when a person is logged into wordpress.
   So weird.

 * Thanks for getting back Paul
 * So I went with Open Office trying out some of your suggestions and it worked 
   great. Had to start over with the imports, add a row at a time, and most importantly
   remove office as the default (one open in office messed it up).
 * On mac we have had issues with the Open Office version of word… but for excel
   it is superior in every way. We will be using it from now on for all spreadsheets
   when google docs won’t suffice.
 * Thanks!

 * Now I am noticing all sorts of messiness in our posts. Anyway for me to clean
   this up? Even if we have to go into each post… curious if there is a TinyMCE 
   editor or something to remove formatting.

 * Hey Paul,
 * I have a feeling asterisks and bullet points seem to cause the issue for me… 
   I guess I’ll see if I can fix this somehow. A simple find replace in excel seemed
   to erase everything… guess it was thinking that I am using it as a wildcard.
