Rich Text control stores unwanted characters

S

I am using InfoPath 2003 SP2. I have a form that sends the content of the
form as a string to a webservice.

There are many rich text controls on the form and the users want to be able
to format text and add tables to the control.

Infopath is sending unwanted control characters which the receiving
webservice is not able to translate.

e.g.<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">-á</div></my:testRichText>

when really it should be sending

<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> </div></my:testRichText>

Does anyone know whether this is a bug with InfoPath or whether there is a
setting somewhere I can turn on/off to ensure that those control characters
are not included.

If it is a bug, any ideas what I can do to work around it?

This is a showstopper and if I can't fix it, the system is not going in!

Thanks
