I'm exporting a document to a .txt file with Tab-key formatting for a column appearance.
When I copy from Notepad and paste into the text editor, I lose some of the Tabs, not all. If I manually fix the problem in MyInfo and go to print preview, everything is all over the place. If I go back to the original copy-paste and preview, it looks like it did Notepad.
Here is what it looks like in Notepad -
Here it is in the text editor after after being cleaned up -
And finally, here it is in the print preview -
I did a physical print to verify that the Print Preview was what would actually come out on paper.
.Txt File Copy/Paste Formatting Issue
Eddie, is this the latest build of MyInfo 6.35? I try to reproduce it with build 4463, but it looks normal. It could be related to the Print options too..
Yes, 6.35 [4463].
I've copied the .txt paste into Word and it works perfectly. I copied that information from Word into a new document in MyInfo and it still has the same behavior. I've copied the original .txt file into an new document and still the same. I manually typed a few lines myself and it worked.
I've been using MyInfo for two or three years now and not had this behavior, nor have I made any recent changes to my print settings. Any suggestions on what print settings could be messing it up?
This .txt file was saved from a Java program, but I thought .txt stripped any formatting by definition. Even with that assumption, the export template has a line that turns encoding off, so I don't think ANSI, UTF, or UTF-8 should make any difference. Looking at the original .txt file, those seem to be the only preferences able to be changed during the saving process.
I don't know, I'm clueless at this point.

Could you send me the file at support@milenix.com, so I can run my own tests?
On it's way, my friend!
Thanks!
Thanks!
I am not sure why this happens. On my test machine the problem occurs too, although not exactly like on yours. I have contacted the author of the text editing library MyInfo uses for advice.
Meanwhile you can test with a smaller tab size (Tools > Options > Editor > Tab Size in Pixels). It seems to help, but you probably need to reformat the text again..

Well, that makes me feel a little bit better that it's not just my machine.
