New Mac - New Editor - Strange Characters on Webpage

Just got my wife a new mac and new HTML editor to work on her site. I'm noticing strange characters showing up on quite a few of her pages.

Example: A' word A'

So I went and changed the font in TextEdit to Arial and also changed the format from Rich Text to Plain Text and changed the font in her HTML editor (Taco) to Arial also. I'm assuming this may have been the problem.

I tried re-uploading one of the affected pages and it didn't fix the problem...could someone look at this page..http://www.decorating-country-home.com/lightingideas.html

As you can see in the first paragraph the A'thatA'. I checked this page in her editor and can't find any reason for this..Also the character set is charset=iso-8859-1 on all her pages..although only certain pages are affected...

Thanks,

Strange going-ons. I rewrote the sentence and re-uploaded, all that happened was the 'A symbol moved to the end of the sentence. I had to actually remove the sentence to make the symbol go away.

 

So would you recommend textwrangler over using textedit. I know my wife works on alot of documents in textedit and then moves them into Taco.

 

I just noticed the encoding in TextEdit was/is set to UTF-8 and my wifes character set is charset=iso-8859-1 on all her template pages. Is this somehow conflicting?

When I view the affected pages with the strange symbols in Taco, nothing shows in the code, but the symbols are visible on the page and page source. This is making my head hurt....

 

Thanks for all the help. I'll keep working on this problem.
