You can save in any encoding that is able to encode all the characters in the file. But generally the best (most useful, universal) encoding is utf-8. However it depends on what you want to do afterwards with the file. The programs that you use to process the file must be able to understand that encoding. Nowadays most software understands utf-8. -- Pieter van Oostrum www: http://pieter.vanoostrum.org/ PGP key: [8DAE142BE17999C4]
