Default Foreign Characters & Save as...

I have Excel 2000.
I have an international file of names and addresse. Some records contain
foreign characters. If I save it as a CSV file or DBF file, some of the
foreign characters get converted to other strange characters. Is there a way
to prevent this or "keep" them as is? I've tried saving to the file type,
"(MS-DOS) (*.csv)" and that preserves some of them but not all.
