There is something about g.g that turns regular punctuation into question marks. The Help Desk knows all about it apparently. I had this problem in a summary statement, the quotation marks turned into ?? so now I tell PIs no punctuation other than periods and commas!
Someone else probably remembers better than I, but I think if you cut and paste you are more likely to have errors than if you type directly.
Good luck!

Subject: [RESADM-L] Descriptive Title of the project

I submitted a proposal to NIH today, and it's title is not displayed
properly in Commons. I want to fix it and resubmit, but when I look at
the submitted application the title looks fine.

This is the title in the application (cover page item 11): WordWord-Word
Word - Word. This is how it is displayed in Commons: WordWord???Word -
Word. The dash is not the double dash. The only irregularity with the
format that I can think of is no spaces on both sides of the dash.

Any insights? How do I get rid of the three question marks?

Thanks very much.
