I'm doing a lot of OCR work with Macs and then transfering
files to my Next to work on. 
These files are in French and Italian (accent marks!).
Now, I save the Mac files as ascii, WriteNow format and 
rtf format, but NONE of these seem to retain the ACCENT
marks correctly. The best I can do is save as Mac rtf, open the 
rtf file with Next Edit, and then cut and paste into Next 
WriteNow. I have tried Mac WriteNow 2.2 and 3.0. 

This is a bad situation, and if I can't correct it it 
means I can't move files from Mac to Next, at least 
without a hell of a lot of proofreading I shouldn't 
have to do. 

I DO have MacTranslators (DataViz) so I am tempted to 
save the Mac files in some DOS version before transferring
them to the Next, but haven't yet tried.

RTF on the Next seems proprietary!!! Does anyone know of 
a fixit for this problem? It's crazy!

Thanks

Robert
