RE: RE: IFS Output problem (THE ANSWER)

I forgot one thing.

See SAVE AS, TOOLS, WEB OPTIONS, ENCODING for the WE-ISO option

Importance: High

You must create/save the document (to the IFS) with the following 
CCSID (ISO-8859-1)  

Example in word the default is (WESTERN EUROPEAN WINDOWS) which when saving to 
the IFS corrupts some data elements, where as if you save it as (WESTERN 
EUROPEAN ISO) the data is just fine.

Open a word or EXEL page and enter data:  "hello world" (with the quotes) 
because the quotes get corrupted using WE-WINDOWS but not WE-ISO.

Special thanks to my boss Gary for figuring this out.

Good luck.

Excel will open the file with .HTML or .HTM file extensions.
