Converting special characters
I've asked the forum moderator to remove your image file--it contains the real names and emails of several real people. For future reference, always replace real names (or other confidential info) with anonymous ones...use the names of Disney characters or Star Wars parts, whatever.... If you're watching for replies and see this before the moderator, I'd suggest you go back to Edit that first post and remove the image. Replace it with one without those names.
To your question, I've often been able (in Word or Excel) to just copy the special text needs to be replaced and paste it into the Find and Replace dialog box. Depending on whether you're working with a Mac or an Windows computer, the keyboard short cuts Command+C or Ctrl+C can copy; Command+V or Ctrl+V will paste. Then use a space or other character to replace it.
