Cutting/Pasting & html vs. plain text
As my grant deadline is 3 short days away, I am having a panic attack. Applicants were experiencing technical issues where they were bumped out of Foundant and/or their applications were not being saved.
I learned a very valuable lesson today from the Wonderful Weston in support. When you are creating forms, if you choose to cut and paste from a Word document, ALWAYS paste as plain text. This is not an option in Internet Explorer 11 but is an option in Google Chrome. If you do not use plain text, there is the chance things can blow up.

I've never really had a nickname, but Wonderful Weston works for me! Thanks Vonda!

Wonderful Weston--I love that moniker--and he is, isn't he! :-)
Thanks for sharing the valuable lesson you learned. I learned the same lesson years ago working with a client's website and it has served me well over the years. Formatting can be a bear anyway and it's scary to realize that pasting with formatting may look correct but wreak all kinds of havoc behind the scenes.
Hope you were able to get your grants in on time and without any further issues.
