Unreasonable syntax error

http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/file/n3612530/PSC.r PSC.r

Hi all,

I just wrote a program in R by editing it in Microsoft Word and then
pasting into the text editor of R. The above is the file.

And below is what the console complains.... Why doesn't it recognise 'r'??

I don't see 'r' at all.  It doesn't recognise s.

You have strange (16-bit?) characters in your .r file.

Note in your output:
 NdeTirage<-1  # NdeTirage d?signe le nombre de tirages

Longueur<-40  # L'exp?rience s'?tale sur 40 semaines

# Ecriture de la matrice des param?tres
par<-function(N){

+   s<- array(0,c(4,8,N));
+   for( k in 1:N){
+      s[1,3,k]<- (0.1) * runif(1)+ 0.1; 
+      s[1,1,k]<- (0.02) *  runif(1)+ 0.98 ?C s[1,3,k];
                                                             ^^

     s[1,5,k]<- (0.04) * runif(1) + 0.04;

Error in s[1, 5, k] <- (0.04) * runif(1) + 0.04 : object 's' not found

The "?C"  (which I guess is a 'dash' rather than a 'minus') is not recognised, and seems 
to 'complete' the function definition (the "+'s stop appearing in column 1), but s is only 
defined inside the function.

I have to mention that at least when I typed this first several lines into
the console, the first error didn't appear. I don't try the next errors as
there would be too many lines to type...I'm not sure if this is something
about Word

Thanks a lot for your help!!!

Why use Word for a text file when Notepad would do the job (better)?
