Unicode UTF-08
I'm trying to save a document in Unicode UTF-08 in word 2007 and can't figure
out how to do it. I need to convert to a web page and upload it to an email newsletter vendor. If I don't convert it, the punctuation marks show up as boxes. Any one know how to solve this? -- Vince |

Unicode UTF-08
I think the only way to save in UTF-8 from Word is to click Office
button Save As and choose Plain Text as the file type. When you click the Save button, a conversion dialog will appear; choose "Other encoding" to activate the list box, and choose UTF-8. That will preserve the characters, but it will lose all the usual formatting (bold, italic, different fonts, etc.). If the vendor can handle RTF -- they probably can -- that would be a better solution than UTF-8 because it will preserve all the formatting. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.

Unicode UTF-08
An interesting question. Documents saved in Word 2007 format are actually in
UTF-8 (in fact I think, earlier format ones were as well but woul have to check to confirm), so Jay has probably guessed correctly that you don't want a Word document at all. If not, please come back with more details. -- Enjoy, Tony www.WordArticles.com "Jay Freedman" wrote in message ...

Encoding" (or something like that... at the top right of the Save dialog). Regards, Klaus |
