>I'm probably hoping in vain but is there a way that UNICODE
       can be "turned off"? I save files in RTF format in various
       versions of MS WORD and UNICODE is the bain of my existence (in
       regards to what I do). Can it be turned off?

       I know the feeling. No, it can't be turned off. In the long
       run, it will make our lives *much* easier, even though the
       transition can be painful at times.

       Can you describe some of the problems you're encountering?
       There may be some workarounds. (We've had to deal with a lot of
       encoding-related problems involving Word 97 and also
       CP1252bis.)
