Please bear with me at I attempt to state this again. The real issue is that I need to see "& #233;" in order to work with these extended characters (seeing as some documents have all kinds of scripts generated by local word processor fonts) to work with them and know they are correct in text editor (Note Tab Pro). However, I did refer to "& #233;" as utf-8. I would not have ventured such a statement without some reason. Michael Kay's book has a table in section three under Style Sheet Structure (p. 129, first edition). I will attempt to reproduce it here. Character Unicode Symbol tab #x9 newline #xA Carriage return #xD space #x20 If I use these symbols, I must add "&" before and ";" after. It was my assumption that "& #233;" was not any different than these. This is the reason why I called "& #233; a utf-8 rendering of "e acute". My conclusion, is that I can search/replace and manipulate these symbols, what I receive in my XML to XML utf-8 transformation I cannot niether through my keyboard nor through my text editor. It is my problem, I know, but I wanted to express it. Thanks for your help and information. Mike F. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
