How do I get rid of strange characters in my listing?

PROBLEM: My ad looked fine in Word, now I see some strange characters in my posting

Sometimes Word just doesn’t play well with others. Here’s how to fix the problem:

  1. Login to your advertiser account.
  2. Under the Actions menu, click the “Select” button and then click “Edit.”
  3. When the listing opens in edit mode, click on the "Description" tab.
  4. Highlight all of the text in the description (hold down CTRL+A for Windows; CMD+A for Macs).
  5. From the font drop-down menu (second from the left), select one of the six fonts listed. It doesn’t matter which one you choose; all of the fonts on this list should work properly.
  6. After you’ve updated the font choice, click the “Next” button at the bottom of the page to preview your listing and make sure that the weird characters have disappeared.

That’s all there is to it! Our PDF version, which includes screenshots, can be downloaded here. If you’re still seeing strange characters on your listing, please contact the HelpDesk right away and we’ll be happy to lend a hand.
