Dimitris, the problem with using non-MDF fields in your lexicon is that
they are harder to support for exporting. I would not recommend editing
the .cct table yourself unless you are very familiar with that
language. The cc tables which come with Toolbox are quite difficult.
One method I have used is to process the file after it is in RTF. You
can set the marker properties (right click on a marker in Toolbox) to
export as either character or paragraph style. Then in MSWord you can
search and replace for any extra characters that got exported. You can
restrict search and replace (in MSWord) to a specific style by choosing
More > Format > Style in the dialog box. I went through this
process successfully in publishing our dictionary in paper format.<br>

<p>dear friends,<br>
<br>
I have entered more than 350 records in my toolbox lexicon and as I do
so, I'm constantly checking the rtf export, trying to adjust it to my
liking.<br>
<br>
I have been experimenting with MDFdict2.cct and I've managed to solve
some of my problems; for example, etymologies are between square
brackets now and variants (\va) are printed exactly after the lexeme
instead of appearing at the end of the entry.<br>
<br>
Nevertheless, some problems remain.<br>
<br>
First of all, I saw no other way to have it the way I need it, than
introducing two new markers <b>\ar</b> for the article (in case of
nouns) and <b>\gs</b> for grammatical notes (on the declension, for
example).<br>
<br>
Of course, I've only used them in one record: I need to have some
descent export before I proceed with using them through out my project.<br>
<br>
I have included the new markers in <b>MDFdict1.cct</b> and I have been
trying this and that in <b>MDFdict2.cct</b> but no matter how! hard I
try (and believe me, I have wasted lots of hours!) I cannot have them
the way I want.<br>
<br>
For example:<br>
<b><font face="courier new">/lx synitheia<br>
/ar i<br>
/va synitheio<br>
/ar to<br>
/de blah blah</font></b><br>
<br>
should output this:<br>
<br>
<font color="#0000bf"><b>synitheia</b> <i>(i) and</i> <b>synitheio </b><i>(to)</i>
blah blah</font><br>
<br>
And I wonder: Is there some easy way to format the Toolbox output or at
least some tutorial on how to use the cct files? <br>
<br>
What do other Toolbox users do? do they all print according to this one
predefined Toolbox standard?<br>
<br>
thanks again :^)<br>
Dimitris<br>
