interpreted = N
texte = The old option was to, in BBEDIT, first search/replace on all (I have a client that uses inches as well) and change them to a character not used, # for example, then open it in Excel, make the changes, export it and then go through a series of delete all (which would be the smartquotes) then do a search/replace from # to . That got old fast, but is another option, but I think you'll find the copy/paste straight from Excel back to BBEdit will work like a charm.GK ----- Original Message ----- From: Donovan Brooke To: WebCatalog Talk Sent: Wednesday, October 31, 2001 10:02 PM Subject: Re: Spreadsheet App pref.
