For what it's worth, another common cause of problems with stuff pasted from Word (at least on the web), is Word docs that contain characters from the Windows-1252 character set that are invalid UTF-8 byte sequences. Most commonly, 0x80-0x9F, which is the range where Windows-1252 differs from ISO-Latin-1. So whatever solution you come up with to deal with the characters 0x00-0x1F that XML specifically doesn't allow, you probably want to also account for ranges like 0x80-0xFF that aren't valid UTF-8 at all. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UTF-8#Invalid_byte_sequences http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows-1252 Sixten _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
