Issues when copying/pasting from MS word to Lotus Notes 6

Hi,

Has anyone run across problems when pasting MS Word documents with footnotes or underlined text into a rich text field in R6? Upon editing these documents by changing the font style OR the size of the current font will cause a series of aaaaaa’s to appear directly before any type of special formatting (footnotes, underlines, etc.).

We have tried using the “Paste special” feature and that won’t solve it.

The only way to remove these aaaaaaaa’s seems to be placing the cursor elsewhere in the text and backspacing and then retyping the text. When a document has 43 footnotes to fix, this can be a very lenghthy process.

Has anyone run across and found a better solution?

Thanks for any help!
