Text file to Google Base

Google requires that files bulk-oploaded to Google Base are formatted as
either .txt or .xml. I have tried the first but so far with no success.

One issue that might tease me is that Google require the file to be in
Latin1 or UTF-8 coding. But how do I achieve this? As far as I can see
this is not controllable when choosing a "Save as" "Text (tab delimited)
(*.txt)" and in XP's regional settings there is no Latin1 or UTF-8.

The error message I get from Google is not very helpful, it only says
that I must choose the right format.

I have tried to download a Google example txt-file, but when I open it
in Excel I am unable to get the characters to be presented correct. When
opening the same file using a browser the characters displays correctly.
