$2-8 USD / hour

I have exported (copy and paste) articles from thousands of website. I am not sure which language was the website, most likely HTML or XML. When I copied them into excel, some special characters arose; e.g. . I know this are special characters for apostrophes or accent. I would like to re-convert these special characters in the ones that are supposed to be. The task is to create a macro that can convert these special characters into the normal ones. I attach a sample of the text I have. The real file will have around 20,000 lines, but I want a macro I can use in the future as well. Thanks and best, Marco
