Mailmerge plain textfile selects double-byte (Chinese) characterse
I'm trying to mailmerge a Word 2003 document (in Arial 12 Western
characterset - language Dutch) with a plain text file. For some reason the converter seems to detect double-byte characters - which aren't there - and changes the characterset to Chinese Traditional. When using the same record in a truncated file (same information, but a lot less records in the text file) the conversion is NOT made. I don't need and don't WANT this conversion to take place. How can I force the mailmerge to use the test file as a file with single-byte characters and a western characterset? |

Mailmerge plain textfile selects double-byte (Chinese) characterse
I only know one way to do this and it can only possibly work with text files
in a format that the Jet (Access) OLE DB provider can recognise - in particular, it won't work with files with more than 255 columns. To try it, have a look for my message in the following conversation: http://groups.google.com/group/micro...unicode&rnum=1 Peter Jamieson "ElPayode" wrote in message ...
