Well sometimes also you should changes the page encoding to UTF-8 which I
can't modify as I know except through DreamWeaver and I wanted to know if
there is a shortcut for this process rather than opening all the project
files and modify the page properties. If anyone has idea please provide us
with it.

Thanks,
Mona
