Unfortunately, there is a drawback to this method if you're creating EPUBs, which prefers the UTF-8 encoding, but all is not lost. When you pasted your Word text into the Latin-1 encoded Dreamweaver page, Dreamweaver converted the quotes and other special characters into named HTML entities, such as “ and ’ -- or left double quote and right single quote. In the Code view, do a search and replace and change “ into the corresponding numeric entity “

Easier to just convert Word RTF to epub with Calibre, that keeps all your quotes. Most of what you could do in Dreamweaver you can do in Sigil if the end product is epub. Sometimes you need to do a bit of fine tuning of the html for mobi, but you need to do that after converting from epub.
