love it, works fine for body but does it fix the MS word characters in the titles? It is only fixing the body of the articles for me and not the title? Any way to fix this??? If so, I will post positive comment in JED and our user forum at 4RSS.

You guys be careful - you're boosting my already-inflated ego!

I am glad to hear this is helping.

You are a god among men. I've spent all day trying to fix these dumb smart quotes and nowhere else on the web could I find your bit where you replace the following characters. This solved it. I owe you everything.

"\xe2\x80\x98", "\xe2\x80\x99", "\xe2\x80\x9c", "\xe2\x80\x9d", "\xe2\x80\x93", "\xe2\x80\x94", "\xe2\x80\xa6"

very useful - and easily extended to include \x99 and other goofiness. Many thanks.
