Default Merge with CSV. Encoding problem

Hi.

Using Word 2003 SP2, when I link the datasource, a csv file, to the
document, appears a dialog to select the text encoding: Windows (default),
MSDOS, Other.

Programming with VBA, that dialog does not appear, but the document
generated from the merging, the characters with accent (á,é, etc...) are seen
like "squares" or japanese characters.

The Document.Open method has a parameter to specify the Encoding, but
MailMerge.OpenDataSource does not include it.

Is there any way to not appear that dialog and specify the encoding?

Thanks,

Janfry
