Save As CSV Western European Windows Encoding

[dgr]

Hi,
I'm using Excel 2013. This issue is related to both Excel & Word.

I want to save a worksheet as a csv with Western European Windows Encoding (alternatively known as Window Default Encoding). This is because I plan to open this csv file in Word 2013 with Western European Windows Encoding. I don't want to be prompted by the File Conversion dialog box in Word too. My code is below. How do I edit it accordingly?

Sub Macro1()

    Cells.Select
    Range("J1").Activate
    Selection.Copy
    Workbooks.Add
    ActiveSheet.Paste
    Application.CutCopyMode = False
    ChDir "C:\path\to\Desktop"
    ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:= _
        "C:\path\to\Desktop\the_csv_file.csv", FileFormat:=xlCSV, _
        CreateBackup:=False
    ActiveWorkbook.Save
    ActiveWindow.Close
End Sub

Alternatively, I plan to open this csv file using a Word macro. Is there any code I can enter into the Word macro to force Word to open the csv file with with Western European Windows Encoding? My Word macro is below. Thanks for your help.

Sub open_csv()

    ChangeFileOpenDirectory "C:\path\to\file\"
    Documents.Open FileName:="the_csv_file.csv", ConfirmConversions:=False, _
        ReadOnly:=False, AddToRecentFiles:=False, PasswordDocument:="", _
        PasswordTemplate:="", Revert:=False, WritePasswordDocument:="", _
        WritePasswordTemplate:="", Format:=wdOpenFormatAuto
End Sub
