Hi!
My colleagues an me do experience a very strange effect when we copy and
paste formatted text from e.g. an Outlook Email message window into a Word
document:
Sometimes the pasted text is parenthesized in between the Left-to-Right mark
and the Right-to-Left mark.
I found out that these symbols are the Unicode control characters U+200E and
U+200F, also known as LRM and RLM. They look like a thin vertical bar which
shows a little horizontal arrow on top which points either to the right or
the left side.
BTW: With Word it is pretty easy to generate such symbols: Simply type the
hexadecimal code (e.g.: 200E) into your Word document, then hit Alt+X and see
the symbol appeare.
Any ideas?
