As part of our club website we wanted to put up a history of the club. Now, I know I could put this up as a pdf, and I know using word as the basis of websites is not in general a good idea, but for this specific purpose I am thinking of doing so.

It has worked reasonably well except that word decided to be intelligent and use 'smart quotes' so that they appear as opening or closing as appropriate. And it does this with a lot of stuff em-spaces, em-dashes and so on. However if you then save it as a *.html file all this clever stuff seems to be changed into the same "unprintable" character making it a pain to sort out.

Anyone know a way to either get word to use the html ampersand forms of these, or change them into a basic character set?
