Apostophes
Does anyone know how, when I contribute to this message board, I can make my apostrophes come out properly, and not as question marks ?

- Injury Description, Date, extent, surgical intervention etc: January 1980 Yamaha RD200 vs 16 wheeler truck, result, 1 totally paralysed right arm. I was 21, now 54. I had no surgery, I don't regret this. Decided to totally ignore limitations (easily done aged 21) adapted very quickly to one handed life, got married, had 3 kids, worked- the effect of the injury on my life (once the pain stopped being constant) was minimal and now, aged 54, I very rarely even think of it, unless I bash it or it gets cold, then I wish I'd had it amputated :) Except for a steering knob on my car, I have no adaptations to help with life, mainly because I honestly don't think of myself as disabled and the only thing I can't do is peel potatoes, which is definitely a good thing.

Re: Apostophes
I'm glad somebody finally asked that question cause I've been wondering about that for three years now
Re: Apostophes
I have the same problem and it is from using word and then cutting and pasting
at least that is what Ryan said... and he is the main computer man...

Re: Apostophes
Just testing this; it’s been cut and pasted in Word and there’s your answer….. .....and now this bit's in Notepad...can't tell if it's worked until you post.....
...and finally: this bit's just plonked directly in the window...can't tell what happens until it's posted...

Re: Apostophes
Thanks everyone, you're right... I have been using Word, then pasting in. The trouble with typing directly into the message board is that a couple of times I've written a whole bunch of stuff, then lost it forever for one reason or another before it could be posted. That is such a waste of time, and so disheartening. Also, if I don't appear to be doing anything new on on the web for a while, my ISP cuts me off. So I try to type in a place where I can save it every so often. Thanks for your help.
Re: Apostophes
..there ya go; Ryan is right...seems Word is the culprit; Notepad is OK...VERY ODD...
