PING: VBulletin Experts: WYSIWYG and Word issues...
I used to think that there was no way to post using Word and WYSIWYG without all the goofy characters showing up. However, at some other boards I've had success in doing so. Unfortunately, the board admins at those places don't know why it worked there, and not here. Does anyone out there know of an admin setting or hack that gets rid of all of those goofy characters that you see below?
Falcons manhandle Panthers Tougher defense, running game make The Atlanta Journal-Constitution Published on: 09/11/06 A few defensive adjustments were made — cornerback DeAngelo Hall would be used against wideout Keyshawn Johnson in man-to-man coverage now and then — but the team's mind-set remained the same. Mercy was nowhere on the agenda in this NFC South clash with a team that beat the Falcons twice last season by a combined 51 points.

We've had this conversation before. :)
It's specifically related to that smiley, and the gibberish code Word automatically inserts. Here's a snippet of Word's syntax: HTML Code:
because the colon and the 'p' produce the smiley in question, that's how vB interprets it. The only solution is to either a) not use WYSIWYG and strip out Word's extraneous crap, or b) assign that smiley a different "code". The downside to the latter is that it will break all previous uses of the smiley. |

Dola, the "best" workaround might be to copy and paste from word into the WYSIWYG editor, then change the format (the "a/A" button in the top right). That will display all of Word's crap but will also retain the formatting you want to keep. Then you just need to delete all the extra shit.

I know on some boards the code uses a capital P instead of a lower case...

They would have their smiley set to a different characteristic, I would guess.
