In a database of over 3000 normal objects I have been shown one which, when edited, behaves very oddly. The text input cursor moves in reverse, i.e. the left arrow key moves the cursor right. This is also the case if edited within the object properties box. |

Paul,
I also experienced this behavior in a DOORS 7.1 patch 012 client. The Object Text was clearly pasted in from Word, so I assumed that there was some Rich Text markup that was the source of the problem. Ultimately it is a bug, because DOORS should be able to allow edits and cursor movement regardless of the underlying Rich Text. ------------------------- Michael Sutherland michael@galactic-solutions.com http://galactic-solutions.com |

Paul,
some weeks ago a colleague of mine faced the same problem. It's coming from a rich text marking, but I was not able to find a way how to change it in DOORS. Thus, I recommend to do the following: 1. In Word, there is a utility to change the direction of a paragraph. To get in on the Word-GUI: select "Tools --> Customize ...", then under "Categories" select "Format". If you sroll through the "Commands", you'll find the entries "Left-to-right" and "Right-to-left". Drag them to the "Format" toolbar. 2. Copy the "wrong-direction" text from DOORS into Word, select it and click "Left-to-right" button to change paragraph direction. 3. Paste the text back into DOORS. regards Toni |

We have also seen this and on investigating the Rich Text Code found "rtlch" embedded. This apparently means treat next character as right to left formatting. Just deleting this from the RT code solved the problem.
We also get odd unicode characters in some modules e.g. "U8804" and have no idea where they are coming from. When the modules are WEXPed "?" is printed. It seems particular users suffer from this, so may be a PC or Word configuration problem. Some people insert symbol characters using the cntrl, alt, shift, + other key combinations, could this be significant? We use DOORS 7.1. |

quick fix we tend to use as a first line of 'Rich Text defence' is just to run a basic script:-
Object o=current string temp = o."Object Text""" o."Object Text" = temp removes mark up and is a handy one to have in your addins menus... ------------------------- Graham Stradling, Alcatel-Lucent. |

Removes markup yes; but it also removes OLE diagrams and symbols. I'd be tempted to add:
if (oleIsObject(o) and !confirm("Remove OLE diagrams from Text")) halt - Louie |
