What MIF wash actually does is simply ignore any garbage in the file.
MIF is pretty much a text representation of the binary format. But MIF
interpretation is loose, so if there's any garbage in there, saving as
MIF *might* write the garbage out, but it will certainly not read it.
In this case, there most likely was something else in that string that
caused it to break into two MIF string statements. However, it was a
character that the MIF interpreter doesn't understand. So writing out
to MIF triggers two string statements, but the cause of the string break
doesn't make it into the MIF file. Then on read, since there's nothing
there to warrant two strings, the interpreter turns it into a single
string.
Steve,
Sounds like you might be able to identify the mystery character by
opening the Word/RTF source file in a hex editor. It would satisfy
curiosity, if nothing else!
