Believe me, I'm listening to what y'all are telling me.
It is a tricky business because for a French typist I can use entities
and change an é into é but with Chinese everything comes up
unreadable (as you've mentioned). I think this is going to end up

I use an open source program, antiword, to convert the Word docs to text
and then just add the necessary markup. (And, of course, edit out the

Russ,
One of the topics you discuss is your stance on the XHTML vs HTML
debate. Your links support your stance -- I've read these before, and
