You should have been able to convert the HTML file direct to EPUB.
I tried that too but I still got the strange characters. It seems the characters it didn't like were the ommlat? (^) and the (..) above a letter. For some strange reason it didn't like the apostrophe either. According to Firefox the encoding was Western Windows 1252. I wonder if changing the encoding in firefox "View menu" would change the encoding when save the page, either as html or txt. Is there a program that you can specify a txt file and change its encoding?
Thanks,
Paul

UPDATE:

The solution was right under my nose! I just loaded the Textified version into word, saved it as txt(unicode UT-8) and then converted that. Result: perfectly formatted epub file!

Thanks for all your contributions.
