We’ve all noticed that bizarre symbols magically appear when clubs have been cutting & pasting their auction lots into the auction chat board. I talked to Ken about this the other day & learned how to make it better! If you put your lot list into plain text/notebook and use that file to cut and paste your lots into the chat room (rather than Microsoft Word) then the gremlins should not appear!

I tried this last night in the MSGG auction but unfortunately it didn’t work. Still got random characters, randomly.

Ok so as I was copy and pasting I played with this stuff. If you put your auction file into word then remove and ' or - or " then replace it with the same symbol in notebook it will fix the problem
