Importing text has extra spacing
May 15, 2007 12:00 AM
Have you tried using the indent/outdent buttons on the formatting tool bar? If that does not work, post a page on the LectoraExchange and I will find a way.

The problem usually is that the translation was done with MS Word and it adds lots of nasty characters that you can't see. Try opening the translated file with WordPad and see if you can clean it up there. If not, the only thing I know is to click inside the offending text box, cut the text. Then RIGHT click outside the text box and paste unformatted. Format again. For more tips on translation, see www.eProficiency.com/webStore/ and search for translation.
I have this problem when using the translation tool in lectora v11, it is really frustrating on large projects.
The document from the translator is fine in MSWord, Wordpad, Notepad, Notepad++.
Import into Lectora and it chooses random text boxes to have an indent.
Export a new translation file from Lectora after import, and the new rtf is now also broken in Wordpad. Why is Lectora adding these indents?
Having looked at the formatting in Wordpad, Lectora is giving the first line an ident of -0.38. which is making all other lines look like they are indented right.
Lectora could really do with some better text formatting options when it comes to text indenting. This is infuriating.
Have you tried and checked "Strict RTF filtering" in the translation manager? As far as I know this is supposed to avoid these issues.

P.S. NEVER open the RTF exported by Lectora with MS Word.

Just came back to post exactly this!
Thanks!
