I want to import a DOS-file into Word 2000 with norwegian characters using
VBA Documents.Open.

Can anyone tell how.

Dim pDoc as Word.Document
Set pDoc = Documents.Open(FileName:="C:\.......txt",
Format:=wdOpenFormatText)

If that doesn't work with your file format, use

Set pDoc = Documents.Open(FileName:="C:\.......txt", _
Format:=FileConverters("[Format]").OpenFormat)

Where [Format] is whatever you select in the 'Files of type' list to open
your file if you're doing it manually.

Thank you for answering.

When I use:
Set pDoc = Documents.Open(FileName:="C:\.......txt",_
Format:=wdOpenFormatText)
the text is imported without our national characters.

When I use:
Set pDoc = Documents.Open(FileName:="C:\.......txt", _
Format:=FileConverters("[Format]").OpenFormat)
Format = "MS-DOS text with Layout"
I get this error: Kommandoen mislyktes (Failure)

This is maybe a special norwegian problem?
