Weird character in text page

Another minor problem. I've pasted some text in, and a little random capital A keeps appearing in various areas of the page (it's got double dots over it. I delete the characters, save the page, and it keeps on coming back in various random spots.

Lemme guess - Microsoft Word? Different word processors use different characters sets. A complicated way to say sometimes things don't work out quite like expected. So, the CustomTEXT screens assume the data entered will be typed, with the keyboard. However, we also realize that cut-n-paste form other programs is likely. If you're data isn't too long, delete everything, and hand type it. If it's long, try using the other program your pasting from (I'm assuming your cutting and pasting) and do a Save As plain text or other format then cut-n-paste that. Just some ideas. The strange characters are related to the character set of the data your pasting - that simple. Paste plain-ole unformatted text at all will be fine.
