Re: AS400 codepage to MS Office

[Vernon Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxx>]

It does look like something in MS Word. You might try creating an XXX.txt
file in Notepad, Wordpad, and MW Word, all to a folder you have mapped to
on the 400, then see what code page they have.

Plain text files don't have a code page attribute, as far as I know, do
they? It depends on the software that reads it, or what code page your
operating system is using.

It might be interesting to see what the actual bytes look like. If you have
TextPad <www.textpad.com> you can look at a file in binary.. What does Word
do to an XX.txt file, if anything? Try making a copy of a file, then edit
and save as .txt in Word, then see if it is different.

I looked up 'code page' on Microsoft's site and saw some charts of the
characters in each code page. The ones I saw did not contain the euro. They
showed x80 as unused, hence the square box you see.

Looks like a question to Microsoft support to me.

Here's Microsoft's page on Office and the euro
