Please attempt to verify this: iIf I copy and paste a non-English text to Word, the non-English characters are completely wrong. If I copy the same text to LibreOffice, the non-English characters are OK, but a page break appears after every paragraph in most texts (not all). With text editors (Aquamacs, Sublime Text), non-English characters are OK but the carriage returns are missing. No problems with TextEdit. It happened in 1.8.6 and it happens in 1.9.1

I'm extracting text from a datasheet created in Publisher for use as an online datasheet created in CS6 Dreamweaver. I've been going crazy trying to figure out how to avoid having text copied from Publisher randomly bringing along P SEP and L SEP unicode characters with it (see attached). The problem occurs in the previous and beta versions of Publisher. I've tried pasting the copied text as text only into Dreamweaver, where the characters don't appear (even in code view!), BUT when I look at it in Microsoft Edge, they pop up. Oh, and that's another problem: not all browsers display the characters (Safari doesn't). As a workaround until Publisher is fixed, can someone recommend an app that will display these characters so I can delete them?

Hi, There's a bug in the way paragraph break and some paragraph formatting are copied then pasted in other applications. Since we can't export to other format but PDF, it would be really usefull to have this corrected, so we can copy final text from our APub documents and paste them in other apps to convert to epub or HTML or whatever suit our needs. Pasting as simple text result in an single line, without paragraphs. Pasting as RTF in LibreOffice or WordPad result in errors too (page breaks instead of paragraph break, left align text instead of centered of justified one, etc.) Text copied from this APub file: Balzac.afpub • In libreOffice: Balzac_fromApub.docx • In wordPad: Balzac_from_APub_wordpad.rtf I didn't test in Words since I don't test at work but I suppose it's the same.
