Bless you, Simon, that worked! I tried using the DOS command line before but couldn't remember the actual command and Rename didn't work. I have now renamed the epub to zip and unzipped it.

Interestingly enough, the ASCII characters are in the html files that I viewed using the MS IE9 browser. It looks more and more like I'm just going to have to do a global replace. If that's the case, I will just merge (append, actually) the files together that I want and then do Find/Replace. There has to be an easier way using html, but it's beyond me at this point.

I wonder what would happen if I loaded the html file into Book Designer. . .
