OS X 10.4.11 -- can't import files from Word -- new wrinkle
Hello everyone, Two weeks ago, I sent a message about a problem I was having importing Word RTFs into Frame 6 (Mac). The solution, in the end, was to import them using "RTF_Japanese_Import." Since then, a new glitch has developed -- it won't import any text in tables. The tables come in, but their cells are empty. It also won't recognize non-breaking spaces. The French accents remain as they should be. Even an RTF file I'd previously imported successfully now imports without the contents of the tables. Any ideas? Will I have to reinstall OSX 10.3?

Apparently the Japanese RTF filter is/was smarter than the standard RTF filter. I believe around that time, even Word had problems importing Word files because of file-format changes. Glad to hear you've gotten past the problem.

Which seems to have worked perfectly. Thank god for archives. Yes: I should have mentioned it. Back in FrameMaker 6 for Mac, for some unfathomable reason, the 'Japanese' RTF import filter worked better than the other one. And, yes, the French accents are no problem, either way.
