Oh, and I had the problem when I typed text directly into the Description window or when I copy/pasted it from another auction. I generally didn't have a problem when I used Word, as long as I used the "clean up" window. As a matter of fact, I copied the messed up text from my Auctiva listing window, took it into Word, fixed it there, copy/pasted it back into the Auctiva auction description, which brought up the "clean up Word" window and thence into the final auction listing.
Pretty "Rube Goldberg." Shouldn't this be a little easier?
