Hi,
I am having difficulties getting my keywords list saved as a proper text file.
I choose Utilities>Term Lists>Save..., and in the resulting text file the diacritics are replaced by other characters (e.g. 'Europol-Übereinkommen' is put out as 'Europol-?úbereinkommen'). I tried opening the file in TextEdit, Mellel and Word 2004, all the same awkward result. Has anybody experienced the same problem and could thus offer a remedy?

Thanks,
Matthias

The text is encoded as UTF-8 (Unicode). If you tell TextEdit this (in the Open File dialog) your acented letters will show up properly. FWIW, it opened properly in Mellel (1.9.1) for me as well.

Yes, that's it. It works well now in both Mellel and TextEdit. Only Word won't open the file properly. When using the Unicode encoding option I get a lot of asian signs. But this is Word...

Thanks,

Word 2004 only understands the UTF-16 form of Unicode, not UTF-8. Most Unicode-savvy apps handle both...
