Mac Forum / Applications / Word / March 2007Exporting as a web page
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? Monte 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.

Monte 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.
