Office 2000 html bug - charset not recognized

[Eli Heifetz]

I've found the following bug in Excel & Word 2000 (9.0.6926 SP-3).

If html file includes the following definition

<meta http-equiv='Content-Type' content='text/html; charset=***'>

(***=any charset),

the charset will be not recognized and both Excel and Word will display
gibberish.

Still, replacing the inverted commas with a quotation marks will solve
the problem:

<meta http-equiv='Content-Type' content="text/html; charset=***">

Links to related MS KB's will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
E.H.

Hi Eli,

What languge edition of Office are you using and
how are you generating that line in the pages.
The default (open new document use File=>Web page Preview
then view source) is to use a (double quote) " rather than
a (single quote) ' .

What languge edition of Office are you using and

english + a lot of MUI's installed

how are you generating that line in the pages.

I'm downloading it from some web site

The default (open new document use File=>Web page Preview
then view source) is to use a (double quote) " rather than
a (single quote) ' .

right
