Hi vallavan_sathish, I must admit I'm not familiar with Word's data format, are you looking at the characters after they have been extracted from the file? How are they represented @ the moment, Unicode ? Are you familiar with the Encode module, it allows you to define a mapping for characters. update: to check on the available encodings use the following one liner (adjust quotes for windows) `perl -e 'use Encode;@list = Encode->encodings(":all"); for $schema (@l +ist){print "$schema\n";}'` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
