Modeline/Special Character Errors

Hi all,

When I open a pre-existing file with gVim 7.4 (on Windows 8), gVim complains about modeline issues, i.e. complaining that there are special characters at the end of the file like: ^J or ^M. Does anyone know how to resolve this? I added "set nocompatible" to the _vimrc (.vimrc) file.

Moreover, the formatting of files are not maintained. For example, when I open a file in Emacs the content includes return, tab, etc. characters; however, when I open the same file in gVim, the content is displayed in a straight line. Example follows. Does anyone what is the cause of this issue and how to resolve it?

Emacs:

{
"name": Ari,
"tools": ["Emacs", "Vi", "Vim"],
...
}

gVim:

{ "name": Ari, "tools": ["Emacs", "Vi", "Vim"], ... }

Thanks.

-Ari
