How do I change the default "file origin" when opening a tab delimited text file?

Hi

When I save a spreadsheet to tab delimited text and re-open it (and
this is something I do a *lot* to get rid of micro$oft formatting and
stray HTML coding...) it always defaults the "file origin" to be
"932:Japanese (Shift-JIS)" instead of "1252:Western European
(Windows)"!

How do I get my MS Excel to default to the correct thing?!

ie I want it to default to:
"1252:Western European (Windows)"
and not
"932:Japanese (Shift-JIS)"
whenever I open a .txt file !
