Default Unicode UTF-08

I'm trying to save a document in Unicode UTF-08 in word 2007 and can't figure
out how to do it. I need to convert to a web page and upload it to an email
newsletter vendor. If I don't convert it, the punctuation marks show up as
boxes.

Any one know how to solve this?

Default Unicode UTF-08

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.

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.

When you save as HTML, you can choose the encoding in the Save dialog under
"Tools Web options... Encoding" (or something like that... at the top
right of the Save dialog).
