Hi,

I have another technical question. I am trying to export my vocab into an xls file. Unfortunately I don't seem to be able to export the characters - just get meaningless symbols. Is there a solution to this problem?

James,

The file is encoded in the UTF-8 encoding. If you open it directly from the browser Excel will just guess incorrectly, but if you save the file to disk and open it manually, you should have the option of setting the encoding before you open it, which should fix this problem for you.

Best,

Thanks for the response. This works ok but all the info appears in one column now. I am using Excel 2004 for Mac so maybe it is a problem with this.
