When i copy text containing em-dashes from WordPad to Storyline the en-dashes are automatically changing to hyphens. This problem also occurs with ' " symbols.
I can confirm that we are tracking a known issue where Dashes and EM dashes in a translation document will appear as a hyphens when the translation file is imported into Storyline. I tested this bug and it appears to affect text copied from Word documents as well. I've added this thread to the bug report so we can notify you as soon as a fix is released.

Hi Joe,
Thanks for your reply. I hope it will be fixed very soon.
the bug (copy formated text) was introduced with SL 3.62 (March 2022)
result with SL 3.61 copy/paste from Word 2018
result with SL 3.62 (and all newer versions)
there is no problems with copy/paste from a text editor (e.g. notepad++)
