Accent troubles with RTF scan

samuelas · Post by **samuelas** » Mon Jan 07, 2008 1:04 pm

Hi all. I'm using NWP with Bookends 9: when doing an rtf scan, Bookends doesn't recognize a number of references with accents, reading, for example
"GarcÃa" as "Garc" and therefore it fails to find the ref in the database.

thanks for any help,
Sam

I'd have to look to see if NWP is encoding the accent correctly. The solution for now is before the scan to take out the word with the accented character in the temporary citation (put in another word from the title, or the unique id, or something else that makes the citation unambiguous).

I just tried this scan and it worked fine (Bookends 10.1.2). You might reenter the temporary citation into NWP and see if that helps.

It actually works fine in Bookends 10, but not in 9, which is the version I own.

Ah, then the solution I first offered is what you should do (edit the temporary citation).

I just dragged an accented ref from Bookends into my document and it had the same effect when scanned as composing the ref in Nisus.

I can only repeat, edit the temporary citation once it is in NWP and remove accented words. It makes no difference where the letters came from.
