Trouble displaying MS Word html file in Asp.Net Literal Control

Question

When I display an html file that was created in MS Word, it doesn't render correctly in the ASP Literal control. It seems to have trouble showing tabs, dashes, bullets, etc. Is there something I can do to make this work?

Answer 1

Some characters from MSWord will never appear correct: tabs, bullets, dashes. You could use XL instead of Word and create a macro that changes the bullets to • or dashes to −. I dont think tabs have an html equivilent.

Others characters (international) can only be shown if both your ascx and aspx are both UTF-8 encoded.
