When I look at the webpage through editior it shows normal but when I check the url after loading it to ftp it shows

I�m calling today because customer and we�d like to be

The above is an example. Below is what it should look like

I'm calling today because customer and we'd like to be

How do I fix this?

The head of your page may have this:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">

The charset may equal something else but you should try windows-1252 like this:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">

It should end with a self-closing slash if this is xhtml:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252" />

this is what the begining of mine says

!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title></title>

<style type="text/css">
td {
font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica;
font-size: 11px;
}
td {
border:1px solid black;
}
.spacer {
border:0px;
}
a {
color:navy;
}

What do I change?

Just insert:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">

next to <head>

You don't have to select anything, just run it.
