Hi all,
Thanks for your responses. Let's assume that indeed those files are not "legitimate" .doc files. If someone creates a text file and renames it as .doc, the Writer encoding text dialog will pop out a UI. If I do choose a encoding such as UTF-8, it will be able to open the text file with no problems and the text will be readable. This is what i want to do programatically, to open with a specified encoding without using the pop-out UI. Is it possible to do this?
