Thanks, this looks like it'll work.
On the formatting, though, is wdFormatTextLineBreaks consistent with
ASCII? The intended goal is to cut and paste the Word document into
some legacy system I'm unfamiliar with, but that's said to require
ASCII. My guess is that means it probably wouldn't understand the
accented E input?

The so-called "high-ascii" characters (those > 127) may be mapped to different
characters depending on your OS and codepage, but as long as you're using a
system based on standard roman characters (ie, not asian, cyrillic, or some
other script) you'll probably be ok. Unless the legacy system only accepts
7-bit ascii.

Obviously, the only way to be certain is to test.
