We have a report that the users need to output to Excel (both 2007 and 2010). When I run the fex and output to Excel, characters with a tilde over them print incorrectly. Example an 'a' with a tilde (alt 0227 in windows) prints as a black diamond with a question mark in the middle. Is there any way to get it to print correctly?
We are using Oracle 11.1, running windows 7/IE8. We are also UTF-8. Displaying the report in HTML looks correct.
Thanks you for looking.

Changing code pages worked like a champ. Thanks Francis.

I would first check the code page in WebFOCUS.

I have mine set to "137 – Western European" or "137 – U.S. English" on the WebFOCUS Client. The client code page change can be made via the WebFOCUS Administrator Console

http://server-name:port/ibi_apps/console/webfocusconsole.jsp


I have the WebFOCUS Server also set to "137 – U.S. English/Western Europe (Latin 1)". The server code page change can be made via the WebFOCUS Server Console

http://server-name:port/webconsole/webconsole


If changing these two code page settings doesn't help, then it may have something to do with Windows or Office.
