Everyone,

I am using openoffice writer to open up a text file that is being
created with a null octal \000\ as the end of file marker.  When
openoffice opens the file it replaces the null with a "#" character.  

The software I am using to create the text file is unable to create the
text file without a null at the end of the file.  Is there a way to get
openoffice to ignore the null and not translate the null into a "#"

Thanks for your help!!!

I could not figure out how to get openoffice to ignore the null, but I
did figure out a fix for the problem.   I wrote a perl script that is
activated before openoffice that removes the null at the end of the text
file before it passes the file to openoffice. 

However, if there is a way for openoffice to do this I would be
interested in your comments.
