Does anybody know how to get french accent symbols to display correctly?
When I copy
"Plaque de répartition câbles"

from Excell to SWX, I get

"Plaque de répartition câbles"

Mercy,

RE: French accents

Try different fonts.  At least make sure the font set is the same going from Excel to SW.

Thanks TheTick,
   My orignial question was not quite right. What I did was:-

Copy the text from Excell
Right click the Drawing file in Windows explorer
Paste the text into custom properties.

This causes the problem.

If I paste the text into custom propeties when the file is open in SWX or SWX explorer, it displays correctly. So I suppose this question becomes a Tip.

I just have to modify 30-40 files again.

Thanks again.
