Subject: CM8000 Auto-Annotate copy & paste problem

Author: Stephen A. Boak

I believe I asked this question a long time ago, regarding CM6000, but didn't
get a complete answer (or solution, at any rate) at the time.  The same problem
occurs with CM8000 (both with unpatched and patched U.S. versions).

When I do an Edit/Copy/Move List w-Tabs/Auto-Annotate and paste the annotation
into Wordpad, I always get approximately three groups of unreadable comment
lines (each preceded by the ';' semi-colon) containing garbage characters
(squares, etc), within the overall annotation text.

Each group contains approx 6-10 unreadable lines.

Each time I copy Auto-Annotate to Wordpad this occurs and I have to delete the
unreadable lines.

What triggers these garbage characters?  Is there a font set I am missing on my
hard drive that is necessary to translate these garbage characters into
something meaningful?

The rest of my copied text contains Short/Standard Algebraic Notation and
English characters, all of which are perfectly legitimate and understandable.

Thanks in advance for any help with this repeated problem.
