It would have to do with the encoding used to send/receive the message.
Despite the fact that é is part of the standard ASCII character set, I often
find that if I use such characters in a plain-text message, I am prompted to
send as Unicode. Because messages posted from the Microsoft Communities are
coded as UTF-8 and I got tired of seeing them in a large, unattractive font,
I threw in the towel and changed my encoding from Western European (Windows)
to Western European (ISO), which apparently is UTF-8.

It is actually interesting that my messages *are* encoded as Western
European (ISO) since every setting I can find in Tools | Options for news
sending format seems to be set at Western European (Windows). But every time
I try to negotiate this mess, it makes my head hurt, so I try not to think
about it any more than I have to!

I have noticed lately quite a few postings (they might be just from you
or from others too) that have special characters such as e acute (as in
your posting below) coming through on my mail client as odd collections
of normal characters. On this message the e acutes in resume are coming
through as an a tllde plus a copyright symbol. It that some artifact
inroduced by my mail client, your mail client, or what? As a matter of
interest if you copy and paste into your version of Word (which is?) do
you get that effect? Have just tried copying and posting to my Word
2000 and I get the same odd effect, so I guess it's your mail client
(Mac?) Are others experiencing this?

Just curious

What sort of underlines? See the Help topic "What do the underlines in

gridlines, see http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/HideGridlines.htm

Note that if your résumé is set up as a table (as most of Word's
résumé
templates are), you may not be able to paste it directly into an online
form.
