    You cannot paste into an Access report, so you must be doing it in a Form or directly in a table then you run the report. Are all the words where the negation character appears having the accent like you have in the title? What language setting do you have for Windows?

    Does it appear if you paste it back into Word?

    the ¬ character is likely to be chr(172). So it may be a font issue, check the fonts you are copying from and to.

    chr(172) in another font might look completely different

    Also you could try setting the control you are pasting to to rich text which might capture the appropriate font(s) for that text
