Jim_Allen Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 Is there a limit to the amount of text you can copy and paste into VW? I am trying to paste a block of text into VW Spotlight and it keeps crashing. Quote Link to comment
Guest Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 What's the error message? Please make sure you've gone through the troubleshooting steps here: http://techboard.nemetschek.net/ubbthrea...age=0#Post77493 Quote Link to comment
Jim_Allen Posted April 24, 2007 Author Share Posted April 24, 2007 Post 77493 - everything seems to be in order. I tried a blank document - same problem. If I only copy and paste part of the document at at time it will insert fine, if I try the whole page it crashes with this mseeage - "VectorWorks has encountered a problem and needs to close...."

Guest Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 What type of file are you copying from? Quote Link to comment
Guest Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 and how much text are you copying? Are there any special formatting options enabled in the word document? Quote Link to comment
Jim_Allen Posted April 24, 2007 Author Share Posted April 24, 2007 It is one page of text. Nothing special in the formating. I just opend a page in Word, wrote the info, and tried to copy and paste it. I will email you the page tonight. Quote Link to comment
Jonathan Pickup Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 copy the text in two parts Quote Link to comment
Jim_Allen Posted April 25, 2007 Author Share Posted April 25, 2007 I did - in 3 parts. My question was - is there a limit on the amount of text we can import at one time and why VW was carshing instead of saying "You can't do this" Quote Link to comment
Guest Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 There shouldn't be a problem with this. I suspect there's either a bad character in the word document, something going on in the VW files, or some setting out of whack on the computer. You are in a situation where almost all the computers are the same, the files are the same - so doing "testing" is challenging. I didn't get the file, if you sent it. Quote Link to comment
