Description rq 2005-01-25 13:14:55 UTC 
If I use text with non-ASCII characters in a chart (i.e., for a label), then
save the file as MSWord 97/2000/XP, then open the file with Word, non-ASCII
characters get broken. Furthermore, it seems like the chart object is not even
editable in MSword 2002. :/

I've tested the attachment with OOo 1.9 m122 and Microsoft Word 2003. I can only 
partly confirm the issue. When I opened the original file in MS Word the 
characters really looked bad, and in OOo it was fine. However, I saved the file 
in OpenDocument (.ott), closed, opened again and re-saved as MS Word. The latter 
opened OK both in MS Word and in OOo. So, the problem may be in the user's 
preferences concerning MS Office compatibility (In Tools -> Options -> Load/Save 
-> Microsoft Office, I have all the boxes ticked). However, there's really no 
ability to edit the charts in MS Word.

DR->BM: The metafile for the chart seems to contain a wrong text encoding, 
please have a look.

This issue is no longer reproducable with OOo 2.0 beta.
