Klaus,

Well, I may have spoken too soon. Now we get ? wherever a non-breaking
space was, whereas in previous versions of Word we got a space. I posted
another thread, Saveas wdFormatText problem (Word 2003), with more detail to
the microsoft.public.word.conversions group to see if anyone has a
workaround.

Thanks again,
-c

The non-breaking space was available in the DOS code pages I remember (at
&xFF/255). I hate it when Word's export filters remove or change stuff
uncontrollably, but it seems it helped you here ;-)

I didn't get that, but Word probably chooses a sensible code page from your
Windows regional/language settings or the like.
