Reply To: Copy and Paste Issues – Word, Notepad

Hey Masood:

I’d like to share, but even though I wrote them, I think the company I work for owns them.

Anyway–they clean up word files and put in the coding for italic, small caps, superiors, etc. Fixes spaces around em and en dashes, fixes ellipses so they have thing spaces between the periods, strips out double spaces, double returns, etc.

But–they were written back in the Quark days. We still use them as we use xTags for InDesign, which converts the Quart codes. When we use a word file, we run several. When it’s keyboarded, we only use one (maybe two), and they key with Quark codes.

It’s a lot easier to have them key @TX: than the much longer InDesign style code for it.
