Hey guys,

I have discovered a bug in the conversion of campaign data from Google to MSN.

Whenever the Headline, Description Line 1, or Description Line 2 contains special characters such as the ® symbol (registered trademark), Export202 omits these lines in the converted code and the resulting .XLS contains blank cells for those headlines/descriptions.

As far as I know, Adcenter permits characters like the copyright symbol (C), reg. trademark (R) and trademark (TM) in their ad texts.

Ok got it, just documented the error, hm I guess the best thing to do temp is to just put the special chars back, I'm not sure of why it is doing it at this moment. I just wrote it down to fix on next update

thanks, got your message to on msn as well, will get it one!
