I was using Netscape 4.0 on W and Mozilla 1.7x on Linux.  I'll try the 
software you mentioned and I also tried making a test page with 
OpenOffice (2.0) which seemed to fix the problem.  Between Bluefish and 
vim though, which is better for pages with half text and half photos?

Will it be possible to convert the older pages to UTF-8 or will they 
have to be redone from a blank page?
