ComicWisdom Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 I am using one of the import contribs for importing my data. All the quotation marks in my data are disappearing during upload. They are mostly used for measurements. 2 inches x 6 inches x 4 inches = 2" x 6" x 4" Is there a way that I can preserve these? Thank you. :thumbsup: Just between us, remember there are only 10 kinds of people in the world; those who understand binary and those who don't!! Remember, learning is a "do-it-yourself" experience; although, not necessarily a "do-it-BY-yourself" experience. The quickest way to learn is to forget to BACKUP!

This has the added bonus of making words like "you'll" stay together, instead of breaking at the end of a line.
