Subject:en dashes disappearing in RoboHelp files From:lyndsey -dot- amott -at- docsymmetry -dot- com To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- techwr-l -dot- com> Date:Sat, 06 Nov 2004 15:15:30 -0500
My client has approximately two thousand help files. We use Alt+0150 to
create en dashes, which we use in every file to separate the elements in the
breadcrumb trail and path descriptions. In two of these files, the en
dashes, plus the space on one side of the dash, disappear. They might
disappear after we hit save, or they might wait until we close the file and
reopen it. I have compared the meta information and charset of these two
files with other files and everything is the same. We are completley
mystified. Has anyone seen this odd behaviour before?
Thanks,
L.
