It isn't hard to do your own experimentation: - create a file with characters that must come from different Mac codepages - in the File|Save As dialog, look at the different file options - save in native format; copy to a PC and see if the file opens directly or requires conversion (in WinWord's Option dlg, make sure on the General tab that the "Confirm conversion at Open" check box is selected) - save in RTF; open the RTF file in a plain-text editor and look to see how characters are represented and whether Unicode-related keywords are used - see if there are plain text UTF-8 or UTF-16 formats Peter Peter Constable Globalization Infrastructure and Font Technologies Microsoft Windows Division
