I am revising a book published a few years ago when I still trusted Word's export to html, but when I open it in Sigil, I get an error at the first named entity, which was an – and when I fixed that, it choked at the very next one, with many more waiting down the line.

Since Sigil has never before complained about my use of named entities (I prefer them to numerical entities because I can read them as I go), I'm guessing that this is because Microsoft has its own peculiar way of rendering html entities, which show on my text editor as ^R, ^V, and so forth.

Is there an easy fix for this, such as by telling Sigil there are two entity modes in use?

Mixing Word export and named entities has never caused me a problem in uploading html to Amazon or Barnes & Noble for conversion. Indeed, the very html file I have opened is already on sale as a Kindle and an epub book.
