Re: Western European (dos)

To embed a Word document, use the OLE object.

To specify the character set on insertion, send an EM_SETTEXTEX message
setting the desired codepage in the SETTEXTEX.codepage member passed via
WPARAM.

The simplest solution to the problem is to convert the string in your
application by calling OemToChar[Buff].
