Hello,
I have a simple HTML data dump which has special characters: áéíóúñ
In the HTML source I placed
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"

When I download this table, all the accents are translated into
unprintable
characters.
I know there are macros which remove these unprintable characters, but
then
the word in uncomplete

código gets downloaded as cädigo and cleaned up it turns into cdigo.

Any help would be apreciated.
Thanks
