Set the language encoding for a Web page

When you are authoring a Web page, you can specify the encoding that a Web browser will use to display the page.

  1. On the Tools menu, click Options.
  2. Click the General tab, and then click Web Options.
  3. In the Web Options dialog box, click the Encoding tab.
  4. Do one of the following:

    To specify the language code that your Office application uses to display the page if the page is not already displayed with the correct language encoding, click the language you want in the Reload the current document as list. This setting is also used when subsequent pages are loaded if the language encoding cannot be determined.

    To specify the language code for saving the page, click the language you want in the Save this document as list.

Note   To have your Office application always save your pages by using default language encoding, select the Always save Web pages in the default encoding check box. This setting affects the current page and future pages that you save. This setting is useful if you reuse pages from other sources and want to store every page in one encoding.
