If you’re planning on pasting from Word into something else, it’s generally a good idea to go to Tools, Autocorrect, Auto Format As You Type, and turn off Smart Quotes. Or, take the text, paste it into Notepad, copy it again, and paste it into the target application.

Word does a lot of weird character mapping to get all the funky effects to work, and not everyone can display them right. Heck, time was you could make a Thinkpad lock up by sending those characters directly to the MWAV modem.

It’s the punctuation that I cut and paste over from Word. I don’t know why it’s being changed to international script in your case (and others too). I’ll have to re-punctuate and see if that helps.

Hawk & Dove #1 is a set-up issue. Sure, thereâ€™s some action, but mainly it exists to re-introduces
the characters from the Hawk & Dove mini-series and to provide hints of upcoming threats.

The issue begins with Hank and Dawn recalling their part in defending the Earth during Invasion!
As you may recall, they appeared only briefly (and thatâ€™s being generous) in issue #2 of the mini-series.
Hank and Dawn have more grandiose memories of their participation: Hank tells Ren that Hawk himself led the charge against the aliens in Australia. Dove, on the other hand, skimps over the action and instead remembers being
hit on by both Guy Gardner and Booster Gold. Iâ€™m sure something could be made of the fact that Hawk remembers
action while Dove remembers sexual harassment, but you wonâ€™t read it here. Nope.

huh. Hawk’s head is… small on the cover…

Yeah, now we get into the meat and potatoes of the Hawk and Dove series.

Hmm. Can’t explain the noise…Wordpress used to do it when I’d cut & paste, but I haven’t seen it happen since the latest version came out. I’m not seeing any here, but???

More “noise” on the post where there shpould be ‘(apostrophes). Interestingly,
the comment page doesn’t have those errors. Also in the title, you wrote DOve,
the kind of thing I do all of the time.
