without heavy scientific analysis, this seems to work as a quick fix to making text originating from a Microsoft Word document display as HTML:



<?php

function DoHTMLEntities ($string)

    {

        $trans_tbl = get_html_translation_table (HTML_ENTITIES);

        

        // MS Word strangeness.. 

        // smart single/ double quotes:

        $trans_tbl[chr(145)] = '\''; 

        $trans_tbl[chr(146)] = '\''; 

        $trans_tbl[chr(147)] = '&quot;'; 

        $trans_tbl[chr(148)] = '&quot;'; 



                // Acute 'e'

        $trans_tbl[chr(142)] = '&eacute;';

        

        return strtr ($string, $trans_tbl);

    }

?>
