Howdy,

I have a simple CMS tool on a site, and the app edits the page directly and
puts in the new HTML from the editor. The problem i have is that they are
pasting items from MS Word, and Word likes to take two dashs and smush them
into a single long dash - chr(151). When I open the file to save the text, i
do the following, and it appears that the encoding is throwing an issue and
convers the - to â?". How do I keep the correct encoding?

       Dim fs As FileStream
       fs = File.Open(path, FileMode.Create)
       Dim text() As Byte = New UTF8Encoding(True).GetBytes(BuildNewPage)

       fs.Write(text, 0, text.Length)
       fs.Close()
       fs.Dispose()

When i hit send it didnt like the characters in this message so you may not
be seeing exactly what i'm seeing... sorry. but i hope you understand the
issue.

Thanks!!
