In Dynamic Views, the export to Excel is transforming special characters

The export to Excel is taking special characters, like tildes, accent marks, and the other things that American users don't typical have in their names, and changing them.  In fact, the export isn't actually Excel.  If you Save As once the export opens, the file type is .txt.  Besides doing a REPLACE for each character for each field, is there a way for the export to Excel to actually export to an Excel file type?

Example:

Hi,

 Can you please let us know what version of Dynamic Views this is?  We are working on an updated method to export to the actual XLSX or XLS file type. We hope to have this released within the next few months.

 Thanks,

 

Chad
