Regarding your comment about quotes, I had never noticed that before! I note that if I copy a Word 2003 quote into Notepad the quote marks do get copied correctly... however if I copy them to TextPad they do not (and textpad is definitely able to handle extended character sets). Hmm. On the other hand, a paste into Dreamweaver gets it right too, so I wonder what is going on! And I'll try and paste into here too, see what happens: “here is something I said”.

I'm looking forword to the rest of your site (I just came across it by virtue of a comment that you posted on Stevey's blog.) One matter of style, and this concerns Word: It's hard to believe that in v.2007, Word still uses broken character sets. How is one supposed to quote you without having Word?s notion of ?quote? marks and apostrophes corrupt your apparent wisdom? Well said, Nigel.
