Jeremy,

I do not know how to change a Code Page, but I do know how to avoid conflict.
At least, it works for me. Try this:
*------------------
close table all
create curs temp (lceuro c(1))
insert into temp values (chr(128))
insert into temp values (chr(128))
copy to c:\temp1 sdf
lcstr=filetostr("c:\temp1.txt")
lcstr=strtran(lcstr, chr(128), chr(255)+chr(254)+chr(172)+chr(32))
strtofile(lcstr, "c:\temp2.txt")
*-----------------------------------

Two text files will be seen differently in MS Word.
I will appreciate if you share with me another solution if any.
