What exactly has any of this got to do with TextPad?

If you want to learn Java, this forum is not really the right place.

At the risk of offending loyal fans of Perl, Perl tends to be (in my humble opinion) somewhat unreadable and hard to get to grips with. It's an old language, invented way back when, full of all sorts of archaic constructs. It tends to create "spaghetti code", chock full of punctuation characters ...

The oft-used phrase "Bl***y Micr :evil: soft!" springs immediately to mind. Windows Media Player screws everything up. Just don't use it.

Seriously though - if you can't reproduce the problem with any app other than WMP, then I would tend to diagnose this as a WMP bug., not a TP bug. Does that not ...

Wow! That was something I wouldn't have thought of. (I don't have Word 2003, so I have an excuse).

In fairness though, it's not Word's fault. Those are valid characters, and as time goes by, more and more applications are going to be able to handle bidirectional text. It's all part of the ...

MudGuard's suggestion is indeed a good one, but it shouldn't be needed if you change the charset declaration. In other words - use MudGuard's suggestion OR mine - either will work, but you don't need both at once (although both at once would be harmless).

Incidently, it would probably be ...

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">

Change this to:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=WINDOWS-1252">

and you'll be fine. This is important - if you don't change this, conformant applications around the world will render your em ...

I tried this, and it didn't work for me.

151 is decimal for 0x97. Windows by default uses its own character encodings, which, not-surprisingly, are completely non-standard and don't interoperate with anything else. On my machine the Windows code page is "code page 1252". In this system, EM DASH has ...

Do the Textpad support people monitor this forum as well, or is there somewhere else I should go to ask them?

Er, yeah, I'm pretty sure they do. The "elsewhere" is http://www.textpad.com/support/feedback.php , but you're not supposed to hassle unless you've tried all other options. In your case ...

When you try to install TextPad, and you get to the wizard step which says:

Install this application for:
[*] A nyone who uses this computer (all users)
[*] Only for m e (your name)

the default is all users. Try changing it to just you. I don't know if that will work, but it's certainly worth a ...
