I am getting this character "Â" when typing in the cms editor and type a double space after typing a period to start the next sentence. If I single space, it does not show up. It appears even if I copy paste or type directly. I have to edit through all my client content to only single space after a period. Any clues to make this easier?

There's another related solution. Don't use the MS Word cut and paste in the WYSIWYG. Word is notorious for screwed up characters appearing as a result of posting from Word into other programs. It's one extra step BUT if you cut-n-paste from Word, then open up Notepad and paste it (which will remove all of Words formatting), then cut-n-paste from notepad to CMS...you'll find those characters gone. You can then format the text through the wysiwyg or use html codes on your page to modify them.
