It's delivered using UTF-8 character-set (accented characters, curly quotes, etc.). <br><br>I'm able to open these documents fine in Word on Windows. <br><br>I'm also able to open them find on the Mac with OpenOffice or TextEdit. <br><br>But I cannot seem to find an option for opening such documents in Word-2008 that doesn't result in some sort of munging of non-ascii characters...
