 Thank you David, After posting this for the second time (sorry), I checked around and saw that YAWC was outputting the intermediate XML doc in UTF-8. I have changed it to use iso-8859-1 and everything is working well now. I would still appreciate some links to a few sites that explain encoding well so that I can try to fully grok it. --Nate --- David Carlisle <davidc@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > > (I apologize if this is a re-post. > > It was, > > and so is this: > > Date: 8 May 2002 17:23:06 +0100 > From: David Carlisle <davidc@xxxxxxxxx> > To: xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > In-reply-to: > <20020508155324.47337.qmail@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > (message from > Nathan Shaw on Wed, 8 May 2002 08:53:24 -0700 > (PDT)) > Subject: Re: character encoding > problem/question > > > > I am creating xml docs out of MS Word using YAWC, > and > > for my single quotes, it is generating ?
