Pasting from MMS6 to Notepad - EOT and ENO codes?

Postby stephenbuck415 » May 02, 2012 7:51 pm

I write with three programs open, Dramatica Pro, Outline 4D, and Movie Magic Screenwriter because I need to make constant updates between the three.

When I copy from MMS6 and paste directly into Outline 4D, the font sizing transfers and I don't want that--I want Outline 4D to use its default font styles. So, the logical thing for me to do is paste to Notepad or Notepad++, re-copy and paste into O4D.

Sometimes some text pasted into Notepad or Notepad++ contains extra codes as shown in the attached screen print. Those codes are EOT and ENO.

What is the best method for me to copy from MMS6 and paste as plain text into another application such as O4D?

After pasting in the text, select it and choose "Normal" from the style pull-down on the top toolbar. I found a thread on a message board about certain keystrokes causing those blob inserts into Notepad++, but I couldn't get it to happen myself.

(Search for "blob" in the page below)
