I have the following setup in org-capture: (setq org-capture-templates (quote (("n" "Note" entry (file+headline "~/My Dropbox/gtd/notes.org" "Notes") "* %^{topic}\n%^T%?") ("c" "Contact - BBDB" entry (file+headline "~/My Dropbox/gtd/notes.org" "Notes") "* %^t %^{Contact type|Call|Meeting} with %:name - %^{subject} %^G\n%a\n%?") ("C" "Contact - no BBDB" entry (file+headline "~/My Dropbox/gtd/notes.org" "Notes") "* %^t %^{Contact type|Call|Meeting} with %^{name} - %^{subject} %^G\n%?") ("x" "Index item" entry (file+headline "~/My Dropbox/gtd/notes.org" "Notes") "* %^t %^{topic} page %^{book--page number} %^G") ("q" "Quick capture (inbox)" entry (file "~/My Dropbox/gtd/capture.org") "* %^{description}") ("t" "TODO" entry (file+headline "~/My Dropbox/gtd/gtd.org" "08 Todos") "* TODO %^{todo description} %^G\n%u") ("p" "Project" entry (file+headline "~/My Dropbox/gtd/gtd.org" "05 Projects") "* %^{Project description} %^G :project:\n%u") ("r" "RFS" entry (file+headline "~/My Dropbox/gtd/gtd.org" "06 RFS") "* %^{yyyymmyy description rfs no} %^G :project:%u") ("i" "Invoice" entry (file+headline "~/My Dropbox/gtd/invoicing.org" "Invoicing") "* TODO %^{Supplier|supplier1|supplier2|supplier3} %^{Account} invoice %^{Invoice number} - £%^{Amount Ex VAT} - %^{Date (dd mmm yy)}\n%u" )))) I am experiencing some strange behaviour when using the last option (Invoice) on my XP machine. The template inserts a strange character (I don't recognise it but it looks like an upper case A with a symbol above it) immediately before the £ sign. This doesn't happen on the Linux machine using the same files, same template, etc. Any ideas? Thanks, Paul
