The Word Cleaner extension searches for several of the most common auto-format characters from Microsoft Word and other MS products, and replaces them with Web-safe alternatives.

Auto-formatted curly quotes, dashes, bullets and ellipses make Microsoft Word documents pretty. But they can make Web sites downright illegible. If you’ve ever copied and pasted text from Word into your ExpressionEngine site, you know what we’re talking about. The Word Cleaner extension replaces several of the most common auto-format characters with Web-safe alternatives.

Please note: Often, mis-displaying Word characters are a problem because there’s some mis-alignment between what character set is expected at various levels of the Web server stack. Perhaps the database is expecting one format, or the browser is expecting another, or the page meta tag doesn’t match the server header. Not all of that can be resolved with this extension.
