------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sat Mar 11 11:04:28 -0800 2006 ------- I found a missing feature in OOo. Trying to open some txt file in Writer you will be prompted to choose the proper encoding for this file if the file has been properly encoded if not Writer doesn't even ask and you're done with question marks. This works perfect as long as you know which encoding has been used. If you don't know it happens that you have to open this file several times til you hit the proper encoding. This is *really* annoying. Word offers a realtime preview which is very convenient. Same does OOo when you try to import a csv. I think the code should be just reused. I suppose that this happens in OOo 2.0.x too. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
