Bad RTF format of http Source in Person List

Beitrag von randy »

Ahnenblatt version 2.64 -- Trouble Report

Context: List - Persons List - format = RTF, as follows:

1. contains an http source
2. line 1 (name) is not long enough to fill the field/screen width

Error:

1st line formatted as wide-justified (fill-left-to-right), vice left-justified

Erroneous (simplified) output example:

"Sources:......... 'XYZ.......... Family......... Pages.......... Website'"
"http://www.This_Is_My_XYZ_Family_Website.com/index.php"

(........ represents non-editable hard-coded format)

vice Correct output:

"Sources: 'XYZ Family Pages Website'"
"http://www.This_Is_My_XYZ_Family_Website.com/index.php"

A Fix is Needed ! and-or Work-Around Suggestions Appreciated !

Hi Randy

I must confess that I'm a bit lost...

I think you are talking about the person sheets which you save as RTF document (menu 'Create' -> List -> Person sheets).

a) What contains an http source and what do you mean with that?
b) I've just tested but can't reproduce that. The name can be extremly long and I don't see any problems. Images are not supported in RTF format so this can't be the problem.
c) Also I tried to reproduce the issue you mention about the source content. Could it be that you've copied content from somewhere which contains special characters Ahnenblatt has problems with?

Can you maybe create an example which shows the issue and post an image of it?

Cheers
Roger

Can't reproduce this one. Maybe you used some (hidden) characters that cause this issue?
Try to delete the text and link an retype it by hand (no copy and paste!). Hopefully this will do it.

Otherwise you could use the word-output and open it with OpenOffice (if you don't have MS Word). Then save the faulty page in OO as rtf.

Huh took me about ten minutes to post?!? But at least I have the same 'suspect' as Roger ... then this should help :) And yes - Screenshot would be great.
