I am using frontpage 2000 for my church. I use TimesRoman font. If I
copy/paste articles from my documents or any other source - the quotation and
apostrophe marks will appear normal in preview and preview in browser - but
changes to a question mark after appearing on the web. The only way I can
fix it is to delete and reinsert each quote or apostrophe mark - very time
comsuming with hundreds of pages. I've tried everything I can think of to
fix it
 
Copy/Paste into Notepad, then Copy/Paste into FP web, see if that helps.

Also, posting the URL here for others to look at may also help.

Without seeing the page I cannot be certain, but I suspect that your
server is delivering a HTTP header that sets the character set for your
page to UTF-8, whereas you have encoded the page as a Windows variant.
This has the effect of changing some characters to ? marks.
These characters should be placed in code-view as character or numeric
references.
See http://www.rxs-enterprises.org/fp/webfaqs.asp?fl=1101651334 for more
details, if you change to a numeric reference then use the alternative
value.
A full list of numeric references can be found at http://w3schools.com

Another (easier) way is to use straight apostrophes and quotes rather
than the 9, 66 and 99 variation that Word gives.
With your web open in FrontPage in HTML view, highlight an apostrophe
that gives the ? problem, then use Edit->Replace from the menu.
The apostrophe will be shown in the find column (if it is not, then copy
the apostrophe - do not type it), in the replace side type an ' (do not
copy this one).
Then tick the boxes to replace in all pages, in code view, and replace
all.
