Bill’s message about opening XyWrite files in inDesign got me thinking about another subject, and I wonder what i’m doing wrong. As an experiment, I typed a few non-US characters into a XyWrite file using the menu to add the accents, like this: I typed e, then F10, Insert, Accents, Grave, and produced an e-grave. I did the same with a few more accented letters. Then I used File/SaveAs to export the file to WordPerfect 6.0 and Word 7.0. In each case, the resulting files had nonsense characters instead of the accented characters. An attempt to save a file in RTF format produced an empty file. Is this a flaw in the export filters or an entirely different problem?
