    Default WEIRD!! Text problem with apostrophe

    Can anyone help with this? I am redesigning our webpages and suddenly all apostrophes are appearing as a series of symbols - a letter a with an umlaut, a euro sign and the trademark (TM) symbol! The text looks fine in pre-publishing mode, this transformation only appears on the published page.Does anyone know what could possibly be happening.

    Any enlightenment would be rewarded with a thousand blessings.

    Thanks

    Those euro sign and tm only appear when they are being censored.

    Vodatalk also censor words which are in the dictionary which cannot be copyrighted.

    I dont know why it is happening to you.

    Thanks for that - I am also looking at my language settings on my browser

    You may be right as the language setting also causes the Euro to appear.

    If anyone should be reading this, I appear to have solved the problem. I thought the Character Set change had to be made at the Explorer level. I have just discovered that by right-clicking on the affected page and changing the Character Set setting to UTF-8 the problem disappears.

    No waiting for the next disaster to strike.
