I have been working on an AppleScript that is suppose to take data
from an Excel spread sheet and put the data in the document
summary fields. It works fine as long as there aren't any accented
characters.

For example I had a title that I wanted to take from a cell in an
Excel spread sheet that is in Portuguese. The script did what it is
supposed to do. When I opened the document summary to see
how the title looked in place of the accents some other characters
were showing. When I copy the text in the Title field and past it else
where the correct characters appear.

Any ideas on how to solve the problem?
