I get question marks at the begining and end of each line if i copy texts from Microsoft word 2003 to a notepad. Any one please guide me to get out of that issue

Thanks
 
Are you putting any special character at the beginning of each line? That character is not recognized by Notepad editor, so it is putting '?' for that character.

Sharing the best from my side...

There are no special characters. Even a normal text when copied to notepad has that ? symbol
 
it has to be a font or a formatting quirk...

you may want to try to save the word doc as a txt file and see if the same thing happens.
