Default Unicode UTF-08

An interesting question. Documents saved in Word 2007 format are actually in
UTF-8 (in fact I think, earlier format ones were as well but woul have to
check to confirm), so Jay has probably guessed correctly that you don't want
a Word document at all. If not, please come back with more details.

I think the only way to save in UTF-8 from Word is to click Office
button Save As and choose Plain Text as the file type. When you
click the Save button, a conversion dialog will appear; choose "Other
encoding" to activate the list box, and choose UTF-8.

That will preserve the characters, but it will lose all the usual
formatting (bold, italic, different fonts, etc.).

If the vendor can handle RTF -- they probably can -- that would be a
better solution than UTF-8 because it will preserve all the
formatting.

out how to do it. I need to convert to a web page and upload it to an

boxes.

Any one know how to solve this?
