Reply To: Exporting as rtf replaces spaces with tabs

Thanks for the attention you are giving it, Gert. I need to export as text only occasionally and wonder if my difficulties warrant the attention it is getting. But another part of me is intrigued to know why the problem exists and how to solve it. Mostly the only reason I need to export as text (and it needs to be formatted text) is that a colleague who doesn’t have InDesign wants a copy of the doc so he can work on it. He is contented with Word.

No, the only spaces I have used in this doc are those produced by hitting the Space bar on the keyboard. I am working with a late 2012 27-inch iMac with OS 10.4.4 and 16GB of RAM.

I am quite happy to send you the file but it is, as you are aware, CS6 and so may behave differently in CC (and perhaps differently again on a PC, though I like to believe those days are far behind us). Naturally I would need an e-mail address. Mine is pardy[at]ozemail[dot]com[dot]au
