Hi,

I saw in this thread http://fabrikar.com/forums/index.php?threads/microsoft-word-doc.29353/
a way to download a form or a view in a word format by adding ?format=word&layout=template in the url

It works great when we open the document with libreoffice:

But with openoffice there's some problem: bad encoding of characters and the images are not displayed:

With Word it's even worth.

This is a great feature, it seems to be a headers problem, is there a way to have the document correctly opened with Word and openoffice?

Thanks.
 
I don't think the word format is really supported (the thread is from 2012).
As far as I can see it's exporting pure HTML without any <head>...

I just added
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
</head>
<body>
manually (notepad++)
This solves the character encoding
 
Thanks troester for your anwer.

In my case even after adding the same header (with notepad++) I still have an encoding problem (with openoffice)
