Greetings from Southern California!
I am trying to copy and paste text from an existing Microsoft Word document to the Pier
website. I keep getting a message that my input is invalid. I have tried saving it first
as rich text and plain text but in every case get the same error message. Is there a way
for me to do this without typing it over again? What characters are not allowed?
Thank you for your help!

This looks like you get an error from the server adaptor trying to
convert between UTF-8 and the internal encoding of Squeak. Probably
the Word document (or the clipbloard) contains invalid UTF-8
sequences.
The real solution would be to ensure that the text is a valid UTF-8
sequence, but I frankly don't know how to achieve that with Word. The
other possibility is to disable the conversion in Squeak. Evaluate
something along:
WAKom withAllSubclassesDo: [ :each | each stop ].
WAKom startOn: 8080
Cheers,
Lukas

When you choose File/Save As (and choose Text File - *.txt in the "Save As
Type:" combo box) you should get a conversion dialog with a radio button for
Other Encoding. Check that and the list box to right will be enabled. Scroll
down to find UTF-8 and select it. If there are characters that will not
convert correctly you will see a warning below the list box and the
offending characters will show up in RED in the Preview text box. These
MIGHT get changed to ?'s in the resulting text file. If not, try checking
Character Substitution and see if that works. If not that doesn't work you
should remove/edit those portions before copying/pasting.
Hope this helps

I guess I should have mentioned somewhere in there that this is all done
from Microsoft Word... =)
