I have has similar problems when exporting CF to Word and other text-based documents. It was replacing certain characters like the pound sign out. This was particularlly annoying as I was doing a currency-intesive document and the Yen and other were working, but not the pound. I was able to fix this when I set the charset to Windows-1252.
Hope that might help. .......................

My client sends out adverts in either plaintext or HTML format and we use a template to create each version which is then mass-mailed. I am having problems representing the pound sign in the emails. It was easy to fix the problem in the HTML emails, as I just replaced the ASCII code with the HTML code. However, it is not so easy for the text emails. When a text email that contains a £ sign is viewed in Outlook Express it looks fine on screen; but if you view the source (ALT+ Enter, Click message source) you will see that where the pound sign should be, there are A3s instead!! This may not seem a problem as the email display is fine, but my client runs macros that look at the message source and import data from it, and the rogue characters are causing all sorts of problems. I am using charset ISO8859-1 in the cfmail tag and I have tried various other charsets as well, with no success. We didnt have this problem with CF5, the £ sign was intact both in the display and in the message source. Has anyone got any ideas please?
