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.
