Transferring Files from Word to CLAN

[Bracha Nir-Sagiv]

Dear Dongping,
I also experienced the same problems when converting from Word to CLAN. 
What does the trick for me is first converting the file from *.doc to 
*.txt (under type, choose Encoded text if you're working with Windows 
2000, then choose UNICODE), and then renaming the *.txt file to *.cha (I 
find that copying directly from the txt file usually also results in 
double spaces). However, if you would still like to copy directly from a 
Word or Txt file into CED, you can use the following command: CHSTRING 
+q *.cha -- this command removes blank lines and add tabs after colons 
(note that this will result in a *.str.cex file in your output directory).
Hope this helps,
Bracha Nir-Sagiv
