Daryl Edmonds 0 Report post Posted May 18, 2014 I have a Memo entry that is behaving in a strange way (there could be others, but I haven't found any, yet)! The output in Individual Narrative report has extra symbols and in SS, words run together. This is a couple of lines from a narrative report: She½was carried inside in an insensible condition, and was later conveyed to Dr. Wells,½and since then she had received treatment½at the hospital. There was a chance of½her losing the use of her arm. The same line from SS: Shewas carried inside in an insensible condition, and was later conveyed to Dr. Wells,and since then she had received treatmentat the hospital. There was a chance ofher losing the use of her arm. However, when I copy/past into Word or Notepad, it appears correctly: She was carried inside in an insensible condition, and was later conveyed to Dr. Wells, and since then she had received treatment at the hospital. There was a chance of her losing the use of her arm. Does anyone know what is happening? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Helmut Leininger 0 Report post Posted May 18, 2014 Could it be a code problem (Unicode, ..) ? Are you sure that there is a "normal" space character where the ½ is shown? Try to edit this memo directly in TMG to replace this character. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There was a chance of her losing the use of her arm. As you can see it all looks normal. I can edit in the memo and put an extra space before or after the ½ and that will look OK in SS but not in TMG reports. Another strange thing; when I hover over the tag in TMG, and the memo drops down, the symbol, instead of ½, is ♫. Weird. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Another strange thing; when I hover over the tag in TMG, and the memo drops down, the symbol, instead of ½, is ♫. Weird. I am sure this is a code set problem. TMG does not support Unicode/UTF, which is used by most programs in windows today (such as office programs etc.). As I said before, try editing it in TMG directly, e.g. replace the "of½her" by retyping "of her". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daryl Edmonds 0 Report post Posted May 18, 2014 Thanks, Helmut. I edited a couple of the places with the symbols by deleting the last letter, the space and the first letter of the next word and retyped them and it seemed to fix the problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Byram 0 Report post Posted May 18, 2014 I would copy the text elsewhere and clear the memo field. Then copy the text, click into the memo field, and try the Edit / Paste Unformatted Text... option. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
