Pasting content from Microsoft Word into a form on this site

• Once your editing in Word is complete, choose File->Save As...
  
• Choose from the format drop-menu the option 'Plain Text (*.txt)'

• Save the file to a known location, your desktop for example.
• Before the file saves, a dialog box will appear asking you about encoding: Choose 'other encoding'.
• Then make sure you check the 'Allow Character Substitution' box.
• Your document is then previewed, and you will see all characters such as 'curly quotes' are replaced with 'safe' ones.

• You can then open the saved .txt file and safely copy the contents you require into a web page that uses UTF-8 encoding.
