Conversion (bug) problem .txt-files to .doc-files

[Guest]

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?

Hi Stef,

You need to set the encoding in the macro statement that opens the text
file:
Encoding:=1252
(... if those are Windows text files)

If you have trouble with that, please paste the relevant macro lines into
your reply.
