Export to RTF problem

Question

Sometimes when I export to RTF, I get what looks like the raw RTF displayed in Word; at other times, the export works fine – whether it works or not seems to vary depending on the verse range I choose, for example, it always works correctly if I export a whole book.

I have pasted a section below. I exported Luke 4:0–5:0. Our language uses a Cyrillic alphabet, which is presumably why there is no readable text in the output below, but lots of “\‹unnnn›?”.

BTW, what I really want to do right now is to copy a short section into Word, while preserving the formatting for poetry/OT quotations. I do hope that in PT8 cut-and-paste will preserve formatting.

This should already work. Make sure you are pasting as formatted HTML in Word.

EDIT: I just tried and it strips paragraph and color formatting so disregard the previous message.

I’m still having this problem – can someone help?

BTW, it seems to happen when the starting chapter is a chapter other than 1, and the starting verse is 0.

It sounds like a bug in Paratext, so the only thing that can fix it is for the developers to fix it. Did you send in a problem report (Help > Report a Problem)?

Answer 3

Still encountered this issue in PT 8 on a Windows 10 machine upgraded from Windows 7. The solution provided above worked as well. Thank-you for the solution.
Interestingly, on a Windows 10 machine purchased with Windows 10, this issue has not surfaced.
