Reading the previous post made me realize how much of a newbie I am.
If anyone is patient enough, I would like to have some clarifications, please. I would like to convert a .docx file (with both cyrillic and latin characters) to .epub. I own a Sony PRS-650.

I did this by setting the utf-8 option in MS Word 2007 and then saving the file (let's call it example1) as a "webpage" (not as a single file webpage).

To modify the html file, I opened it with the Note Pad, and replaced the string <meta http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=windows-1252"> with the one given above.

b) What should the final result of the unpacking be? The .tar file, of should this be unpacked again?

Where exactly in the head section? I succeded in converting the html file to epub through Calibre only by adding this just after the last occurrence of </style> (otherwise I got fail messages), but in any case with the resulting epub file question marks showed instead of cyrillic characters on the Sony Reader.
Finally, after doing these modifications with the Note Pad, is it correct to save the file with the extension .htm choosing utf-8 as encoding?
Thank you very much for any reply.
