If you or your members are noticing strange characters in emails – especially where there should normally be a single or double quote, then these are due to what are known as “Smart Quotes”.<\/p>\n

These special characters always show up when you copy text from a WordPress blog (some themes use these characters) or a Microsoft Word document.<\/p>\n

Single quote:<\/p>\n

'<\/code>(correct)<\/h2>\n

`<\/code>(incorrect)<\/h2>\n

Double quote:<\/p>\n

\"<\/code> (correct)<\/h2>\n

``<\/code> (incorrect)<\/h2>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The single quote that works correctly is located next to the “Enter” key.<\/p>\n

The incorrect one is located next to the “1” number key.<\/p>\n

So copy your email text to a text editor, like notepad. Then change all single quotes to be ‘<\/strong> and all double-quotes to be “<\/strong> in your emails. Then put them back into DAP, and then test.<\/p>\n

The “strange characters” issue should then be resolved.<\/p>\n

NOTE<\/strong>: In a future version, we will implement an enhancement in DAP so that DAP can handle this automatically, but for now, the above solution is your only option.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
