Re: Using NB to Convert (was Re: XP & malware, then: Attachments and HTML )

[Harry Binswanger hb@xxxxxxxx]

Paul,


Then  is not the problem. If you have time, you could create
a plain Xy3 or Xy4 file, try importing that into NB, then add formatting
complexity step by step, to see what is causing the problem. Or you could
DECODE and run the program that follows and send me, privately, the
result and I'll see if the formatting causes problems on my
system.

Run this when your Xy file is open on the screen. The program produces a
file named XYFMATS (for XyFormats) that contains each formatting code on
a line of its own. It won't change your original file.




Dear Harry


I don't use styles, have none defined either, so I'm not sure I can do as
you ask very intelligently.  Most of my work is with files under
100k but I do manipulate larger files when assembling a manuscript. 
I have had trouble with tables, where I found I have to take great care
to make sure they stood alone with a line above and below, and with
interactions between tables and footnotes if I created a table and then
added a footnote.  This was always because I had forgotten to set up
the footnote style first.  Having learned how to manage these issues
I very rarely have problems now (unless I forget the above).

100K.


I will try to see what I'm doing in footnotes that causes the
crashes.

Like Bill I have very little trouble with NB9.  I use footnotes
all

the time and often exit in expanded mode.  It works for
me.
