Exporting as a web page

[Monte]

I have a newsletter to put out to PC and Mac users in HTML. I edit the
newsletter in word and save as a wepage. If I load it into a browser
at the point it looks good. However when I email it in Entourage using
the "Send Complex HTML with Inline Files 2004" script I find that the
bullets come out as á and apostophe's show up as Õ any suggestions to
correct this?

Hi Monte,

do you use Microsoft Office 2004? If you do, you don't have to use the
script at all; just open your document in Word, then click on File>Send
to>Mail Recipient (as HTML). This will convert your document to HTML and
create a new message in Entourage with your document in the text body.

Can someone check for me? Does Word 2004 have a "Default Web Options"
button on the Save As dialog? I think it does (I am temporarily
Mac-less...).

If so: Specify a different "Encoding" for the file when you save to HTML.
I always use Unicode (UTF-8) because it wil send any character at all,
regardless of whether you generate from a PC character set or a Mac
character set.

If the Encoding is not specified in the file, the recipient browser will
assume its favourite character set, which will give the "funny characters"
problem if it guesses wrong.

Cheers

The setting is in Word | Preferences | General | Web Options, under
Encoding.

Thanks Daiya:

If he specified that as "UTF-8", his funny characters should go away...
