RichEditDocumentImportOptions
.PlainText .Encoding

Remarks

Set the PlainTextDocumentImporterOptions.AutoDetectEncoding property to false to disable automatic encoding, and then specify the Encoding property as shown below:

RichEditDocumentServer wordProcessor = new RichEditDocumentServer();

PlainTextDocumentImporterOptions plainTextImporterOptions = wordProcessor.Options.Import.PlainText;
plainTextImporterOptions.AutoDetectEncoding = false;
plainTextImporterOptions.Encoding = Encoding.Unicode;

wordProcessor.LoadDocument("Documents//Doc1.txt", DocumentFormat.PlainText);

Tip

Handle the BeforeEncodingDetection event to specify a custom encoding instead of the automatically detected encoding. The event is raised only if the PlainTextDocumentImporterOptions.AutoDetectEncoding property is set to true.
