testing it here

This is a test to see if the formatting in WORD can be copied and pasted into Fodors for my trip report. In the past when I’ve done it the text has been riddled with question marks. And when I use dashes or bullets point they have caused problems.

How about bullet points:

I hope this works as it’s much easier to create in word and copy and paste into Fodor’s.

I do it all the time with TRs and haven't had any issues. Hope you're going to be posting your TR from ARG?
