Setup: There are strange symbols in one of my text fields

Most likely you have copied and pasted from a word processing program, like MS Word.

The text module cannot accept many of the unique formatting codes associated with word processing programs.

If you need to copy text from a word processor, copy it first to a neutral program like Notepad.

Once in Notepad, all formatting codes are striped and you can use cut and paste to move the text to the system.
