Sverre, I can not begin to tell you why Word converts your choice of a =
valid hypertext markup symbol to "<span =
style=3D'mso-char-type:symbol;mso-symbol-font-family:Symbol'>m</span>", =
but you don't have to take it. If you want a microfarad, put "&micro;F" =
in your document. However, you have to save as text; If you save as HTML =
Word converts the "&micro" to "&amp;micro;"!=20

"&micro;" will render on all browsers as it's part of HTML. Word is =
depending on the client workstation having a compatable font. HTML =
assumes no such thing - The browser is responsable for finding an =
appropriate font in the client's language to render properly marked up =
requests.

A table one of my programs uses lists many symbols you'll recognize, and =
the cited reference is far more explicit.

No discussion of browsers needed. Just a little Word Slamming. When you =
pick HTML export filters, it ought to filter for HTML, no?

Table used by some HTMLifying code I've written:

    ('&nbsp;',   '&iexcl',   '&cent;',   '&pound;',  '&curren;', =
'&yen;',    '&brvbar;', '&sect;',   // 160

<snip>...was written with a greek mju in the Symbol font followed by F =
(0.1 microFarad). I have noticed that this displays
correct in Internet Explorer, but Netscape does not seem to recognize
the symbol font and puts an 'm' instead...
