MS Word cut & paste = missing accents and tildes?

Hello Moderators (and others who may also know),

On 6/24 I posted/pasted a paragraph written in Spanish, which I cut from a Word document. I used my Spanish keyboard, ensuring that the words needing tildes/accent marks had them. However, when I pasted the document, many of the accent marks went missing.

Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks, Escomillo

Escomilo, that is a shame, i did not bother to correct all those missing accents put me off, sorry.

Can you not directly write it here? Well, or use a spell check once you have added the text?

Marianne, Heidita,

Thanks to both of you for helping, not only here but on my earlier post as well.

Heidita, I see that you live in Spain - NICE!

Hmmmm...sorry you're having trouble with that.

Let's see....

I typed the words below in an MS Word document and cut and pasted them here:

Información

Edit: It seems to work fine for me.
