This has come up before and I can never remember the exact answer, but I 
think it has something to do with Word using high-ascii or unicode 
characters. You might try saving the Word file as HTML and looking at 
the character entities to see if they really are 208 and 209. Maybe 
they're something else. If they are high ascii numbers then a unicode 
translation might fix it.
