It was imported by OOo from a probably WP, but in vi(m) it shows as 
apostrophes and in my borwser on the local webserver it shows fine too. 
It's just when putting it "out there" that it comes up with the odd 
characters.

Erg, never mind. Not sure but in the transfer from here to there via tar 
and sftp it got changed. Or something in vim isn't showing here that is 
there. The file looks right under vi(m) on the machine I'm developing 
on. After I sftp it up and use vi(m) on the remote machine the odd 
characters are there.

gag.
