Conversion (bug) problem .txt-files to .doc-files
In word 2003 I have created *.txt -files containing swedish signs. When I
convert to a *.doc -file the swedish signs have been interpreted as japanese signs. I use a macro to open the file in word and convert it to a word document. Does anyone recognize this problem? -- Stef |

Conversion (bug) problem .txt-files to .doc-files
Hi Klaus,
this solved my problem. But I still suspect there is a bug in Word 2003. In earlier versions, 2000, this problem does not occur. -- Stef "Klaus Linke" wrote: Stef wrote: In word 2003 I have created *.txt -files containing swedish signs.
