An increase in PERIS™ help tickets over the last few weeks has been related to special characters ( [cid:28d5b50a-be21-4a3c-a080-a55821daa236] , [cid:16457eff-d749-4755-b5fd-6438c990ad42] ) being inadvertently entered into budgets and other SmartForm fields by pasting from other documents.  When a special character is entered, you will receive an error message (Figure 1) and be unable to proceed with the proposal until the special character is removed or replaced.
