Hello All,
It's I again with addition to previous letter:
VS> abw2RTF for old apps converter changes converted cyrillic text too: it adds
VS> spaces between words (previous converters just replaced characters into
VS> spaces, this one inserts them).
VS> I can give you example of this...
Special addition:
this bug comes out only if I converting document that just have been
entered. And spaces are added only to paragraphs edited while last session
of work. That is:Open Abiword, Open document (or enter it), 'Save as' RTF
document - you will got corrupted text. But if you entered text (or edited
it) and saved it into Abiword document, exit Abiword. Opened new session of
Abiword, opened document, 'save as' or 'save copy' as RTF document - you
will got normal text. I use this temporary solution to bypass this bug and
give a document to MS Office user.
VS> All circumstances are the same:
VS>> System: Win95 OSR2 Russian
VS>> Version of Abiword: 0.9.6-1
VS>> Language of document - Russian
VS>> Original document format - abw
VS>> Target formats are: Word-doc8.0; RTF for old apps
VS>> If you need those files - I can send them to you.
VS>> Annotation: koi8-r encoding was used to provide examples of text originally
VS>> written in russian.
VS>> Bug is specific to cyrillic texts. (I've checked this).
VS>> Bug was tested only with version for Windows.
VS>> May be I need to contact some Russian Abiword developers to solve this
VS>> problem?
