Issue with some imported files

Post by Sentosa »

When I import some RTF files, or cut and paste them, I find some strange behaviors. The original of the example shpwn below is black. After bringing it into Atlantis, Myrtle Beach appears in close to cyan. The remainder is black.

Myrtle Beach, November 1948

Any ideas?

Please note that I may not be able to respond for about a week. :oops:

When you can respond, and if there aren’t any privacy concerns, could you please send one of your “problem” documents to support@AtlantisWordProcessor.com, and explain what gets pasted differently in Atlantis?
Thanks.

Sorry Robert, I can't do that, but not for any privacy reasons. I no longer have access to these "problem" documents.

I had so many issues, that I printed all these documents, scanned them and OCRed them, saving the results as RTF files. These all loaded perfectly into Atlantis. I can only assume that over many years, working on documents in different word processors, that some corruption occured.

Maybe this indicates that there are differences between variious versions of RTF files.

RTF documents created in old versions of WordPerfect sometimes cannot be read correctly even in MS Word… :(

I had used WordPerfect since v1, but I stopped using it at v.X3 -- didn't like the interface.
