Pasting text from other file types into the Post form

Been getting error messages when copying & pasting text from MS Word, Adobe, or some other document type into the Buzzboard post entry form?

This is likely due to one or both of the following:
--The source document contains formatting tags that the message board software is unable to interpret
--The source document contains special characters or symbols urecognizable by the message board software

To get around this issue, I suggest trying one of the following:
--Upload the source document directly as a file attachment (new feature now available!); must be 256KB or less in size
--Copy & paste the text into a blank MS Word or WordPad document as unformatted text (use the "paste special" option in the Edit menu). Then, try pasting the text into the Buzzboard post entry form.

Hope these suggestions are helpful!

Pasting to a word document then re-copying and pasting to the post works great!

I've done all that, but I keepp getting the following message:

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 1245184 bytes) in /home/mibuzz5/public_html/phpBB3/includes/utf/data/utf_compatibility_decomp.php on line 2

Eliminate any special characters and it will work. Usually the slanted quotes is what is causing this error.

Thanks! There were more than 90 of those characters in the story!
