Has anyone had this similar problem with MS Word's autoformat function? We have a newsletter and the editor uses MS Word to write his article, he then submits the text to a web form that stores the information in a database which I later retrieve and put into an XML document for output to PDF and HTML. The problem is I am not sure how I could escape those special characters that MS Word uses, like the special quotes and elipses. Any help would be appreciated.
