I'm getting odd characters when I look at pages in my website. What could this be?

note: I'm using IE7

Where? I don't see them.

Here is a link for anyone who wants to look:

what's actually happening is documents are being written in microsoft word then imported into the website. However, apostrophes from the word document are still being used (which the browser doesn't render reliably). It shows up as an error in some browsers and not in others.

I know that if you type directly into the document yourself (ie, without cutting and pasting from ms word) you don't get those errors but I would like to make it so that the document doesn't display the errors regardless if you're cutting and pasting from word or not.

any thoughts?

here's another page with an error:

Use find and replace to change all MS curly quotes to bog standard ' (yeah, a typography angel just died) If you don't have dreamweaver, Word can do the same. (I remember there was an option to use curly quotes, somewhere in the preferences, can't remember exactly where) Or you can paste stuff first in a plain text editor (such as notepad on windows) then into Dreamweaver.

A bodge, I know.

You can probably save the file as a .txt file and do the same thing as well.

Word to web is a terrible idea. This is par for the course.

Either change them to plain old ' and " or if you're a typography nut (which I doubt you are) there are tons of character entities available. Including (these may not be completely accurate), &lquot; &rquot;
