Re: ACS session copy/paste issue

Paul

Check out some of the other posts in this thread - we know how Word, etc., do autochange for some things - those can be completely or selectively turned off.

And I use a technique of undoing the auto-change with Ctrl-Z - works well in a limited-need scenario such as mine.

So we have options.

Vern

Update from IBM development.

Microsoft Word uses the curly double quotes which are U+201C and U+201D. Those characters do not convert from Unicode to EBCDIC.

Currently there is no support for copy and paste from that application.

There is an existing Request for Enhancement(RFE) that you can vote on:
https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rfe/execute?use_case=viewRfe&CR_ID=126146

Currently there is nothing that can be done to correct your issue.
In the mean time I would recommend using something like notepad as a work around.

Also,

The reason it works in iSeries Access but fails in ACS
It's because the old client was a ANSI enabled application and Windows does the necessary conversion.
Where ACS is a Java based application.

There's Autoformat, and Autoformat as you type. Change smart quotes in both.

I can't recall where the setting is on Windows Word or what it is called Rob (as you know I use mac exclusively) but you can set a preference in Word to _not_ use so called "smart" quotes. I have that set in both Word and Pages because it drives me insane.

Well, that is your problem right there. Why, in heaven's name, do you
purposely introduce Word?

It's one thing to get a Word document from someone else. That's
outside your control. Maybe they don't know any better. But you are
doing this to yourself! I hope you're not doing this to other
people....
