pasting Accordance text into Word leads to consistent hangs

Recommended Posts

Perhaps it is a MS-Word issue I need to research, but I thought I'd start here only because the issue I'm experiencing is consistently, if not exclusively, occurring while using Accordance.

 

The issue is nothing more than me pasting Scripture text into Word documents: Word is hanging 30% of the time, the only solution to which is force quitting Word.

 

Is anyone else experiencing something similar?

 

Any guesses on the cause(s), and moreover the solution?

 

many thanks

Patrick:

 

Which version of Word? Which OS? Which version of Accordance? What language and what are your export settings and choices?

Office for Mac 2011

OS 10.10 Yosemite

Accordance 10.4.2.1

 

Macbook Air 2014

 

as for language, if you mean which language I'm pasting, it's text from the ESVS

 

and as for export settings, let me attach a screen shot of what they're set to presently

Hi, I am sure Helen will have a better response but:

 

1. Is there a reason you are not using Unicode?

2. Try clicking Unicode and copy and pasting and see if Word still hangs please.

 

Thanks

I'll toggle on that preference. I assume that's the default position since I've never fiddled with it (so far as I know)

 

I'll see if that corrects the problem

 

thanks for the idea!

We have noted for a long while that Microsoft products like PowerPoint only accept unicode input.

well, I made that unicode setting change...but I continue to encounter the issue, sad to say...not placing blame anywhere--I know it may be MS issue...just wondering if you had other ideas?

 

many thanks

Patrick, have you tried updating Accordance to 10.4.5, with the latest free bug fixes? This may help.

I'll give that a try, Joel, and see if that works

 

thanks for the idea (I didn't know there was an update from 10.4.2.1!)
