Hi Gustavo,
I've had this problem also. The solution is to use Dreamweaver in
design mode: if you copy and paste from a word doc into DW in this way,
all the formatting is preserved, all the funny characters are dealt with
properly, and it actually does a brilliant job AND produces valid code!
It's the only time I use design view and it's one of the few things it
does very well.
Hope this helps you as much as it did me!
