Greetings, The online editor seems to take special characters like quotes or colons and turn them into "?" when you perform a copy-paste function. Is there a way around this? Is this a problem with the setup or is this simply a bug? Thanks in advance.

It sounds like a bug. Are you copying from within your article, or from a different browser/program? Which program?

I've tried copying from a text editor and Microsoft Word, but really, our customers will be copying articles and documents from MS word and pasting them in. Could this be a problem with the default character set installed? Maybe it doesn't handle smart quotes?

I have the exact same problem with one of my clients.
It does the same thing without the online editor. eZ crew, can you do something.

Hi, We did have received bug report about "special" characters like quotes or colons showing not correctly when they are copied from MS word, but this is only for version 3.0. I have tested with version 3.1 and version 3.2 beta and can't reproduce the bug.
I think you should first check character settings for database in site.ini and character settings in i18n.ini, and make sure they are using the same encoding. For my test, I use following:
In file site.ini:
[DatabaseSettings]
Charset=iso-8859-1
In file i18n.ini:
[CharacterSettings]
Charset=iso-8859-1
Regards,
wenyue

Is there a support email for online editors, since it is a product? Paul

This is not only a problem with the online editor.
This is a problem with eZ 3 like I said earlier.

To get these characters you must setup the site with the correct charset, for instance the iso-8859-1 does not have the typical characters which are found in windows (since windows uses it's own charsets like windows-1252).
Edit i18n.ini and change it to:
Charset=windows-1252
You must also do the same with the database settings. Alternatively you can use utf-8 as the charset if you don't mind the extra processing time it requires, that way you won't have to worry about characters in the future.
If you want to know more about charsets I can recommend this site:
http://czyborra.com/
For instance to see the windows-1252 charset try:
http://czyborra.com/charsets/codepages.html#CP1252 Don't you just love MS, always going in their own direction and leaving the problem solving to other people. (Just wait till you try the WebDAV interface in 3.2, and you'll really see the problem MS makes for users and software developers)

Tx Jan, that explains weird things with others and why I never had problems (default to ISO, not windows in IE here). Since OE is DHTML anyway, why not detect the charset used and popup a warning if not ISO or not the same as the server setting? -paul

It's a good idea Paul.

To Jan's suggestion:
It is very important not to change the settings in settings/override, but only in /settings/siteacces/admin.
Otherwise the systems coverts every page to windows-1252 and this makes the system extremely slow
