You were precisely right, Susan. My html file began as an export from MS Word whose initial purpose was incorportion within a .lit file for MS Reader. Therefore, I didn't change the encoding from Windows 1252 because that didn't cost me anything. I did change the .opf file to utf-8, but that didn't mitigate my eventual problem.

Changing the html encoding -as you suggested- to utf-8 in the meta-data section solved my problem. I had used html entities from the beginning, so those didn't need to be changed.

Let's see now if I can give you 100 karma points. I forget exactly how that works.

Thanks again.
