Strange symbols in Memo field after importing

[Randy]

I imported a table and appended another table and when I opened the
memo field there was some strange looking symbols in the text of the
memo.

Every so often there was what looked like an il in bold. Is there
any way to get those symbols out of the Memo field?

In one paragraph there must be 10 of those symbols in every memo record.

I suspect you are seeing carriage returns that were in the text. If you are
seeing this when looking directly in the table contents you could test it by
creating a form and reading the contents in the text field.

So, in the end you may not want to replace the symbols ('escape characters'
really).
