Well, I mailed the content.xml to someone as a text attachment and it was damaged at the other end, whereas sending it as a file resulted in flawless transfer. So I guess there is something not quite UTF-8 in it. However Firefox has no problem opening it either here or at the other persons computer (the undamaged file of course). By the way, I also sent an MSwWord document (not as text) that I edited using OO back to the same person who is using MsWord and he is at the moment still recovering from an MSWord crash. Could it have something to do with the OO document being half as big as the MsWord Doc :-) Anton -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
