For programming, the current Code Page setting of the Engine can be set or inquired by ImGearRecOutputManager.CodePage Property value. The exact list of available Code Pages can be inquired by ImGearRecOutputManager.CodePages Property value.

The Windows ANSI name here is not connected with the real ANSI character set (ISO 8859-1). In fact, this is the code page 1252 (Windows CP 1252).

Details of the WordPerfect code pages:

This section provides information about the following:

Customized Code Pages

If no offered Code Page fulfills your needs, you can develop your own derivative 8-bit Code Page by adding a new Code Page Definition file to the Engine Binary directory. This new file should have a .SET file extension and it should contain a separate section for your custom Code Page. Five Code Pages are available as the basis for customized Code Pages:

The characters belonging to the custom Code Page should be given in UNICODE and follow the other layout conventions found in the RECOGN.SET basic Code Page Definition file.

Code Page Ignored during Converting to the Output

In some cases, the Code Page setting of the Engine must be specified together with the Output Text Format for the final output document. With other output formats, specifying the Code Page is superfluous, since these output converters ignore the Code Page setting (e.g., MS Word).
