Hi, all I tried to set up the Open Office server 3.3 for the office import and office macro. After installing OO 3.3, I succeeded with externally managed (local) way (failure with internally managed way), and the OO Server was set up as an independent system service with proper start up parameters (-headless -accept="socket,host=127.0.0.1,port=8100;urp;" -nofirststartwizard) for sure. However, the Chinese documents are not imported correctly and all Chinese characters were displayed as question marks. After reading http://markmail.org/message/ytdrsk7ue752cr73, I know the problem is the OO HTML export encoding is not set (correctly), in my case gb2312 instead which should be utf8. According to the former discussion, for OO 3.2.1, a common.xcu file in the profile directory should be altered. But for OO 3.3, there is no such a file. However, there is a registrymodifications.xcu file located in C:\Documents and Settings\Default User\Application Data\OpenOffice.org\3\user, which plays a similar role as common.xcu. Note, different user has different profile directory, and in my case "Default User" is the default directory for system service processes. Simply add "<item oor:path="/org.openoffice.Office.Common/Filter/HTML/Export"><prop oor:name="Encoding" oor:op="fuse"><value>76</value></prop> " to that file would set up the HTML export encoding to utf8, which solves the problem.
