I copied and pasted some text from Microsoft Word, and now there are a bunch of gibberish characters on the form. What happened?
This is a known issue with copying and pasting from some Microsoft Word documents. The gibberish characters are extraneous formatting information that has been accidentally copied along with the text. To stop these characters from appearing, you can try saving the document you are copying from as Plain text or RTF. Then close and reopen the document before copying and pasting from it.
