Re: Open html as source

Hi Tobias:

Well, Word does not neet to recognise the "Meta tag", it's the CharSet tag
it needs to get hold of. It should recognise that OK, provided that the
content really is UTF-8.

And there is a way around it: Set Word>Preferences>General> "Confirm
conversions at open" to ON, then use File>Open (MUST be from within Word) to
open the file. You will then get a dialog asking you what format the file
is in. Choose UTF-8 at that point.

Cheers

Am not sure about Word X, but the first thing I'd try is opening the file

rendered html, then use View>HTML Source. May not be there in X, though.

It's there but doesn't recognize the <meta utf8> and there's no way to
change it manually.
