Ok, I'll rephrase: Can you please explain your problem again, in different words? I thought you are trying to export data *from* open-office, and your message seems to suggest (without actually saying so) that the document contains \x93 and \x94 (you said "there are still characters in it like \93 or \94"). So if that is the case: What is the problem then? If you interpret the document as cp1252, and it contains \x93 and \x94, what is it that you don't like about that? In yet other words: what actions are you performing, what are the results you expect to get, and what are the results that you actually get?
