I just came across this which I find very useful, its a site called Postable by Elliot Swan and it converts any text into code friendly text, which is great for them cut and paste jobs.

I often find myself making web updates for clients and having to copy large amounts of text from a Word document, and I usually find myself uploading the copy to find I have actually missed a cheeky ampersands or pound sign somewhere on the page and not converted into the proper code format (eg. & or £). This is where postable comes in handy, as all you do is copy your text into the box provided on the website and hit the ‘make it friendly’ button. Postable will look for these things and convert the for you, saving a lot of time!
