Hello Hansrudolf.

Thank You for You answer. And yes, I confirm about the phrases from Jethro Tull in general not just about my previous post…

| But why the heck did you write twice 'posted from MS Word 2003' ?

Just by mistake. The third set of lines was copyed from Open Office so I should have writen Pasted from Open Office.

And there's another error, as kindly noted by Mr. Andrew Johnston I typed wrongly the word test as teste (it's so writen in my native language) and Neil made a joke with it.

 

Greetings

Dias Costa

Hello Andrew.

Thank You for helping me understand what happened.

Here in Portugal we have a say which says "The portuguese language is very treacherous” meaning sometimes the words may be inerpreted in a sense completely diferent from the sense it was writen in.

And when the writer and the raeader have not the same mother tongue, the things may only become worse.

Best regards

Dias Costa

Quote no longer works for me using FireFox 10.01 on Windows 7……………….

But it works with FF11 on XP. perhaps Windows 7 is the culprit?

It now works on Windows 7 with IE9, when I tried about an hour ago it didn't!

Word is a word processor application, NOT a text editor. It should not be used for anything that is going to be put in a web page. This is because as someone has already pointed out it adds a myriad of extra characters behind the scenes which web browsers don't like. It doesn't matter whether its for the original web page or added via the online editor, it still has to be parsed by the browser when it is displayed.

Use Notepad which is a text editor or download the free Notepad++

 

Interestingly I also noted the requirement to press the browser back button twice to 'go back'

Something must be happening, it appears as though I now have 'quote'. 'link'  capacities

If you want to use text from ms word you can avoid problems by pasting it into notepad, then copy that and paste into your post.

Hi All

RE Pasting from Word.

All the other engineering sites that I post to can accept a paste from word without difficulty. No special buttons to push just copy and paste. I can name them but this is not the place to do that.

Yes the text has to be parsed, so what? The web page software should parse the data anyway it is not that hard to determine the file type behind the scenes than use the appropriate subroutine to parse it.

A robust software design will do that anyway to avoid any conflicts that can possibly cause the web page to become unstable or distorted, Word is not the only software that uses control characters.

This is how it is done in 2012.

Cheers

John
