Brad,
In my message forum entry under Tag, the following text appears at the end of my post. It appears when I read the article I wrote but when I go to edit the message to remove it, it isn't there. No one else has anything following their last entry. Is there a way to remove it without affecting my post?

If you edit that post and then click the Source button, that text really is there. It's Microsoft Word code. If you're copying and pasting content created in Microsoft Word, make sure you click the "Paste from Word" icon instead of the regular paste icon. If you don't a bunch of Microsoft Word code will copy and paste in behind the scenes and generally mess up your formatting.
