Q: When I export a document from TeleMagic to an external Word Processor there is a strange character at the end of some of the lines! How can I get rid of it? A: "That `strange character' is the symbol that TeleMagic (and WordStar) uses to represent soft carriage returns. What external word processor are you using? WordPerfect ----------- Instead of importing the document with Ctrl-F5, just retrieve it with Shift-F10. WordPerfect will realize that the document it is retrieving is not a WordPerfect document and will automatically convert it to the WordPerfect format. The conversion routine that WordPrefect uses when you touch Shift-F10 is slightly different than the routine it uses when you touch Ctrl-F5. With Shift-F10 the TeleMagic soft carriage returns will be replaced by WordPerfect soft carriage returns. MicroSoft Word and Other Word Processors ---------------------------------------- The character is the symbol that TeleMagic (and WordStar) uses to represent a soft carriage return. Unfortunately your word processor can not understand it. In this case there are three things you can do: 1) Before you export your TeleMagic document, make sure there is a hard return at the end of each line. 2) Once you have ithe document in your word processor you can manually remove the character. 3) You can contact Engineering Dynamics at: Engineering Dynamics 5411 Palm Ave. Sacramento, CA. 95841 1-619-338-1970 They have a simple program called "Word-Fix" That will go through your TeleMagic document and automatically replace all the soft returns with hard carriage returns that Word can understand.
