unterminated string constant error

Hi,
I am getting the error "unterminated string constant".
I have an input box. When I type "affected party" and press submit. The submit button calls an insert function and it inserts into an Oracle database. This all works fine.
When I copy and paste "affected party" from a word document into the input box and press, submit I get the "unterminated string constant" error. I think the problem is the word document has a carriage return after the "affected" and then "party" follows the carriage return. I think the carriage return is cause the error. I am not sure how to go about fixing this problem.

Can anyone help?

Thanks,

Amisima
