Hi Alex,
This is just off the cuff - but have you looked into using BinaryIO
Xtra from updateStage i.e. reading this information from the PowerPoint
file directly? You would need the PowerPoint file specification which I
assume is publicly available.

Hello Roy,
Simply setting the font of a field or text member to a double byte font
appears to allow text entry. I haven't produced a final product that
allowed entry, and only experimented on Macintosh, but the experiments
indicate that it is very easy (they explored using BIG5 and GB for

there's also some character parsing like Using % to wash your clothes is

and hopefully still do some parse-replacing of characters.

Hi list...
Here's a weird one. The lingo below generates a preferences file if it
doesn't previously exist. The default prefs file (a prop list) is
theHeaderString. All well and good until it is read back in by FileIO
where property pT morphs from pT in the first list to pt in the second
list.

That's in the category of just the way Director works. The symbol table stores the
case of the first occurrence of any new symbol. Any future use/lookup is
case-insensitive, but the original case will always be returned. So you evidently had
a preexisting #pt. Now you get...

And symbols which exist in Director already are always going to be the way
they instantiate them. #member, never #Member

Yup. This is easy to test using any new arbitrary symbol. Here's what I just
did in my Message window:

Well, thanks for the feedback everyone! Regarding the case following
the case of the first occurrence, I went through all of my code and
nowhere do I have pt (my Lingo only has pT). So why might this still
happen when my first occurrence of this symbol is in fact pT?
Thanks,

It seems the combination of letters pt/PT/pT/Pt always renders #pt.
1) It could be something Director already has in place.
2) It could be something you typed by mistake once, and now it has persisted from
session to session because of your continued use of #pT. Many things are stored as
symbols besides the things we directly declare as symbols, including

The important idea here is that since you cannot guarantee the case of a
symbol, do not rely on the symbols to have the case you want them to be.

Don't think there's any way to do that. Re-installing Director would probably reset
the symbol table to its original state.
As mentioned previously, you shouldn't ever rely on the case of a symbol name.
