Change encoding

[user867564]

Hello,
I have Excel spreadsheet with Russian text that's encoded in some strange language code.
I'm running English version of Windows XP/Office 2003. How can I change encoding in Excel? I'm guessing there must be something similar to Tools->Encoding in the IE.

Thank you.

I don't know about Russian, but different languages have different function names:
