Is there a way to set the default character set or encoding in OOo

my symbols are not rendered correctly in UTF-8.
That makes no sense.
What version of OOo?
What operating system? What version?
What are you actually doing?
John,
Thanks for the reply. I am currently using OOo 2.3, but previuos
versions have had the same problem. I run Kubuntu 7.04 and 6.06.
I download shop inventory from a suplier. The download is in .csv format
and includes 20 or so columns of product data. Some of the columns
manufacturer name, product name and model and one or both of these
symbols © ®. If I use UTF-8 I get a rectangular box instead of the
symbol. If I use Western Europe (ISO-8859-1), I get the correct symbol.
Once I've downloaded the I make a few changes, set pricing info, save
the file in csv format and then import into a MySQL database. I've found
the only way to preserve these symbols is to make sure I use Western
Europe (ISO-8859-1) every time the data is saved. The font used doesn't
seem to be part of the problem, as I've used a couple of diferrent fonts
with the same problem.
OK, if it's merely a question of setting the /default/, then, no, I
don't believe there's a way to do it. Perhaps you could create a macro.
