Publisher 2002 Web Font Problem

D

dawnvk

I update a website every week - now this week, something strange is going on.
Special characters such as tabs, ', - or " are being turned into ? on the
website. It looks fine when I preview it.

If I go to View, Encoding in IE (6.0), it shows Unicode (UTF-8) is selected.
If I manually change it to Western European (Windows) then the page displays
correctly.

Does anybody have a fix for this? Is there some setting in Publisher to tell
it to use Western European or something? I can't have viewers having ? all
over the place or having to change this setting on every page.

I also don't understand why after years of doing the same process that this
is suddenly happening. I even tried it on different computers and had the
same result. I contacted my ISP and they have a new server and said there
could be some security settings that are causing the problem. I also noted
that another site on their server created using Publisher 2002 is doing the
same thing - and no changes have been made to it in about a month.

Suggestions????

Sorry for posting to the wrong forum... you were quite helpful non-the-less,
your suggestion worked until today. Now all of a sudden my website is using
Greek text rather than the ?. So for example, "know enough" becomes “know
enoughâ€Â. Might I trouble you again for a suggestion? Also, do you know
where I can learn more about this - like what's causing it to suddenly change
even when I haven't updated the post. One day it's fine, then bam, it's
whacked.

Thanks so much.
