In the user-contributed section of the PHP manual, under htmlentities, I
think, there is a nice chunk of code that tells you how to replace all
those stupid non-ASCII Microsuck Word characters with the HTML equivalent
that will be closest to what it was in Word.

Very very nice.

It might not be in htmlentities, though -- You'll have to dig around for
it...

If I could just remember which project I pasted that into, I'd just post
it again :-)
