Hi there, I am currently struggling in forcing Word to show a UTF-8 encoded document. The generated document is a normal web page with generated content from a mysql database. When I remove the header commands, the document with proper russian characters is displayed fine in the browser, but when I add [CODE] header ("Content-Type: application/vnd.ms-word;charset=utf-8"); header ("Content-Disposition: attachment;filename=questionnaire_".date("Ymd_his").".doc"); [/CODE] , Word opens and displays the information as chinese letters instead of russian. This also happens for spanish and french special characters, they are also incorrectly displayed. Any clues how I can force Word to display UTF-8 correctly? Thanks a lot in advance!
