Thanks. This and:

solved my problem with understanding the encoding.

Sorry about that, I meant if the text attribute is None, but there *is*
some text.

In my sample file I see , is that you're talking
about? Since my file is small I can say for sure this tag represents
two space characters.

Yes my header also says UTF-8. However some kind person send me an
e-mail stating that since I am getting \x94 and s
4 codes were left inside the document.
But that was an *artifact*, because if one prints something using
s.__repr__() as is used for example when printing a list of strings
(duh) the output is not the same as when one prints with 'print s'. I
guess what is called then is str(s).

Ok, I'll rephrase: Can you please explain your problem again,

I'm trying to import text from an open office document (save as .sxw and
read the data from content.xml inside the sxw-archive using
elementtree and such tools).
The encoding that gives me the least problems seems to be cp1252,
however it's not completely perfect because there are still chara
24 matches
