    When pasting text from Word the ’ are not shown ( - and ... too).
    I think it's my font that can't show this symbol.
    I'm using proggytiny font.

    Do you have the same problem ?
    Is it possible to have an auto convert ?

    Thank you for your job !

      You have SmartQuotes on in Word, and it's converted the quote marks/apostrophes, dashes and ellipses to extended ASCII sequences (what they actually are if you look at the text outside Word, in a text/binary viewer).  I can't remember if Word removes those if you export to plain text - but chances are, you'll have to turn off SmartQuotes/autoformatting, and retype all of those characters before you can copy/paste them to Notepad++.
