    To follow up from an old post of mine, I've been back to doing copying
    from Word/Acrobat into PuTTY and still have the problem of dashes and
    quotes.

    Using UTF-8 doesn't 'convert' the quotes. I end up getting the wrong
    type of quotes when I paste.
    I think the dashes are ok.

    I was thinking, is there a flexible program which monitors the
    clipboard and does the conversion on the fly?
    I see such programs which converts character sets - but they all seem
    to have hard-coded conversions and don't allow the user to enter in
    their own conversions for just the few characters I need.
