Post #39,034 by acagle 5/17/02 1:37:21 PM 5/17/02 1:38:06 PM Reply	And why the F*$#. . . . . Does everything imported from Word 97 drop half the hyphens???? This has happened when I imported stuff from Word into WordPro and OO. Really gave me the heeby-jeebies once, too, as I had a range of numbers in the original ("4-5") and when I imported it, it became "45". Sheesh. I spent a couple of hours having fits because a "45" instead of "4-5" totally put the kabosh on a bunch of my arguments. Edited by acagle May 17, 2002, 01:38:06 PM EDT Expand All History
Post #39,077 by Ashton 5/17/02 4:57:37 PM Reply	Naive suggestion (?) Turn off 'soft hyphens' in Word? Or use whatever is that cockamamie command for "no break space" which signals that at end of a line, this expression may not be broken-up (?) HTH, Ashton Yabut.. what about all the other Wordbloat gotchas? and encrypted machine and User ID and.. 5400 bytes in Word6 for "the quick brown fox ..." (Maybe up to 10K in 97?)
Post #39,085 by acagle 5/17/02 5:53:07 PM Reply	I thought of that. But many of them (most? all? I wonder. . . .) are hard hyphens inserted directly by me. I know this because most of the offenders were irregular Egyptian names that wouldn't hyphenate. In other news, I discovered that OO stores stuff in Zip format, which can explain some of the size issues from earlier. BTW, are XML-formatted documents universally readable? This is confusing me.
