When trying to display a webpage generated from MS Word in Firefox, it does=
not display some special characters generated by MS Word if the webpage is=
saved as an .xht file. For example, MS Word converts the single quote, dou=
ble quotes and three dots (=E2=80=A6) into some special characters when you=
save the word document as a webpage. Firefox does not recognize these char=
acters.
=C2=A0
To understand the problem, please copy the following content to a notepad a=
nd save it as .XHT file and open the file in Firefox. Then remove the singl=
e quotes, the double quotes and three dots and open the file again.
