Is there a way or a program (for windows) that can translate foreign
characters inot the proper html code? I have a word document with many
different characters and I really don't want to spend all the time
editing it with all the html code ie "&#347ci&#261". Certainly someone
must have a program that can do this automatically.

Just save it with a UTF-8 character encoding. Then you don't need to specify
UTF-8 characters with character references.

You need to learn Unicode.

That's fine, because it wouldn't work anyway. You forgot the semicolons.
