Simon, I don't know what Word uses for internal character representation, but I would not be surprised if it is the Windows-1252 character set. Win1252 is a superset of ISO8859-1. It defines the characters between 0x80 and 0x9f which ISO8859-1 specifically leaves undefined. It is in this range that you find the curly quotes, em dash and TM symbol that often make their way into documents and then don't display properly on non-Windows platforms. There is a great Web page about it here: http://czyborra.com/charsets/iso8859.html HTH Philip --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
