I simply cannot get text to come into ArchiCAD properly from MS Word. Is their a secret knowledge? Thanks

Hi...thanks for responding. I have been saving the text in MS Word and then pasting into ArchiCAD as drawing elements because RTF loses all its formatting. Sometimes one line comes in, sometimes one page, but never the whole document. The document is set up with 4 columns and I thought that might be the problem, but when I made it one column I still had the same problems.

I am now saving out of MS Word as PDF and bringing into ArchiCAD as a figure and that seems to work, but is a long way around. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Jeff

There are some ArchiGuide articles related to this. Please read them so they may give you some hints.

As you are not mentioning OLE, I suppose you are on the Mac?

Go through the links Laszlo posted, and then let's talk more if it does not work.

Can an Adobe Pagemaker file be inserted directly into an Archicad file?
What about a Plotmaker file?
