Words HD with strange characters in friend's IDs

I went into settings on Words and changed my username from the strange Polish looking id to my actual Facebook ID and the password to mine and then saved that.  Now only one of my fellow players is identified with his proper Facebook ID.  All the others are identified to me with strange unrecognizable IDs (zyngawf_33060480 e.g. and one as kyrstal1277).  My games with them remained intact, but now I can't tell who I'm playing with; I have no idea who zyngawf_3306480 is.  They all seem to know who I am.  How can I fix this?

I deleted the game and installed it again and then logged in with Facebook and it's OK now.   I now see my friends real names again.  And I didn't lose any of my current games.  Weird.

  • Report previews and prints with strange characters

    I have a custom XI application which uses CCrystalReportViewer11 (C++ wrapper around ActiveX control) to preview reports. This works for hundreds of installations, but for one the text is displayed and printed with strange characters. If the customer exports the report the characters are displayed as normal. What could be wrong?

    More than likely, it's a printer driver issue. It may even be that there is no default printer driver installed. Also, see if setting a different default printer driver helps. You can also set the "No Printer" option in the report by opening it in the designer and going to the File menu and selecting "Page Setup".

  • Issue with strange characters

    Hi All,
    A strange scenario ..
    In the source system A text appears to have a hyphen (-)..
    When my BW QA environment pulls the data in the PSA the same hyphen appears to be '#'
    but my Dev environment pulls the same record, it appears the characters shows correctly as hyphen ..
    What could be the possible reason for this issue? Could you guide me where should I look for these?
    And the next part of the question :-
    When the same record is sent via OHS, the hyphen actually shows as hyphen in the generated file(atleast when I try to view the file via al11).. When the file is sent via FTP, the hyphen actually gets converted to some strange characters(âu20ACu201C )..
    Could someone please guide me ..
    Thanks,
    Debajyoti

    Hi Debajyoti,
    Check the RSKC t-code, if you have the hyphen character, or put "ALL_CAPITAL" to let all character as valid.
    Sometimes, there are errors and/or conversion of the characters that you can see in the error message in the load.
    The message sometimes has an hexadecmal number (I don't know if it is your case) that you can check with the next link.
    [http://www.utf8-chartable.de/unicode-utf8-table.pl?number=512|http://www.utf8-chartable.de/unicode-utf8-table.pl?number=512]
    There are characters that are allowed in the source system (i.e. R/3) because of system language configured in R/3 and not in BW, or Unicode configured in R/3 and not in BW.
    Also, there are some control characters that sap doestn allow to be loaded (you can see them in the list).
    You can validate each character that comes from PSA with a function module in the mapping (defined as routine) for the particular InfoObject that you want, and if it is the case, you can convert it or replace it

  • Filenames with strange characters

    (With apologies if this is a previously answered question.)
    One of my Java programs copies users' home areas around our network. I'm getting filenotfoundexceptions with some of the users' files, specifically those which use extended character sets (we have many international students who use special programs to create files with e.g. Chinese characters). I'm at a loss to know how to diagnose this problem and would appreciate any advice. The filenames are retrieved as result of a listFiles() and the copy method uses BufferedInput\OutputStreams.
    David R.

    Your problem must be with the names of the files, rather than with the content. I did a few experiments and found that Java (I'm using SDK 1.3 on Windows 2000) can't open files with Cyrillic characters in the file name, either for input or for output. Throws a FileNotFoundException, as you said. There shouldn't be any problem with Chinese content if you're using input and output streams.
    So, the problem is diagnosed. There are several bug reports that sound like this. Don't know if it has been fixed in SDK 1.4.

  • Numbers is exporting with strange characters

    I created a huge spreadsheet in Numbers 2.3, upgraded to Numbers 3.0. When I try to export to a CSV I get this strange charictor "Â" where there is supposed to be a space.  I have tried exporting differnet CSV version.  The problem is not uniform through the document, it recognizes some of the spaces, but for the most part, anwhere there is a space the "Â" is substituted for the space.  I can reopen the CSV in numbers and not have the spaces, but when I try to upload it to a website it has them, and I also have opened it in excell and it still has the problem. I have spent countless hours building this spreadsheet and if I cannont convert it correctly it is pretty much useless to me.  Please help!

    Manny,
    You can continue to use the previous version of Numbers which is located in the folder "/Applications/iWork '09"
    You can post a bug report or feedback to Apple using the menu item "Numbers > Provide Numbers Feedback".
    There seems to be several issues around CSV files.

  • Strange characters in pdf

    Hello,
    i have a strange problem with "strange characters" (such as "à", "ö" etc). I have to edit pdf files produced with Adobe Acrobat by other people. In some cases, when i try to "copy and paste" text from this file into a "note" (within the same file), the strange characters appear scrambled, such as "Ÿ" instead of "ü", or "Ž" instead of "é".
    I noticed the following:
    1) on the screen, the original text looks correct, but after copying and pasting it into the note-tool (within Acrobat), it looks scrambled. If i paste it into another application (TextEdit or Word), it stays scrambled.
    2) this happens not for all files, but only for some of them. note that all files come from the same source...
    3) The same string of text looks and behaves absolutely fine when i open the pdf file with another application such as Preview.
    4) In Acrobat, i can edit the scrambled notes to make out of an "Š" an "é" - but that is a time consuming way of doing things.
    I think it has something to do with Font availability, or Unicode, or so, but a don't find the right thing to do. And i really need a solution, since editing within Acrobat is part of my money-earning work ...
    Who has a useful hint ???
    Thanks in advance,
    thomas

    Guessing here, but possibly the others and you aren't set to the same language? - the font codes for the diacriticals may vary between languages?

  • Pages document turned to gibberish-strange characters in rectangles. Can't read underlying text (still there)

    I use a Pages document (password protected) as a frequent reference. It is 22 pages of text. Suddenly most text was replaced with strange characters, each encased in a little rectangle, so document was unreadable. Selecting a section of text, I could right-click and see that underlying text was still there, just not readable onscreen. Style was "Normal*." I don't know what the " * " means. I selected all and changed style to "Heading 9" on the list. All text reappeared, so my data is ok - for now (though not formatted as I want it). I can't trust Pages, however, and don't know what caused the problem or how to avoid it.
    Note that the style now shows "Heading 9*". I don't know why the " * ". I tried selecting all and making "Normal" the global style, but the strange characters wouldn't budge. Switching back to Normal brings back gibberish.
    Some text is Verdana; I just noticed that changing font also got rid of gibberish. Changing back to Verdana brought back gibberish.
    Note that not every line of text was changed to gibberish; some were just fine.
    Other Pages documents are fine - right now. I notice that there are asterisks in Style in other text documents.
    I'm an experienced computer user, new to Pages in the fall when it came with my MacBook Air. In this document, format isn't all that important, but I can imagine where this would be a huge disaster for other types of documents.
    Any help in figuring out what's going on most appreciated.

    Tom -
    "That sounds like Apple's Last Resort font, which gets used when for some reason the app forgets about the font being used.  Use Fontbook to make sure you don't have duplicate Verdanas on your machine.  Also try cleaning your font caches with Onyx or by doing a safe boot"
    Wow! Who would have guessed! Thank you for the advice; Fontbook revealed a number of duplicate fonts - ot Verdana, interestingly enough -  which I have now resolved. I then switched all text to Trebuchet MS, and everything reverted to normal. I can live with Trebuchet.
    This problem appeared on the same day (before or after I wasn't sure) I installed MS Office. Could this have caused the problem?
    Thanks for your prompt reply, explanation and solutions.

  • Importing Word Documents with Images

    Hi, When I import word document in to Robohelp, it imports
    the images also. Now, I have duplicate images in multiple topics.
    How do I avoid duplicate images being imported? Is there anyway,
    where I can collate and store all the images in a single folder,
    instead of saving it in multiple folders?

    You're right. One reason this plan never came to fruition is
    because this doesn't take a lot of time.
    When I first came aboard, I envisioned a lot of importing of
    Word documents where each change was done to a Word doc (complete
    with macros and useful AutoText) and then imported into RoboHelp.
    Then, a global search would take care of the image problem. But
    that isn't really our MO, so this never happened.
    Although, it's a great way to create a new project. Author
    your Word documents with meaningful characters to represent each
    icon. Then when you import everything, just include the graphic
    once and then do a global search.

  • Sometimes the address bar / url field is filled up with weird characters. How can I stop this?

    The address bar in Firefox fills sometimes completely with strange characters. There are no letters or numbers, but symbols / icons. Is this a bug or something that I can change? Here you can see how this looks.

    Try disabling the RSS Icon 1.0.6 extension. A number of users have reported that extension as causing that type of display.

  • Strange characters when copy/paste from Word

    Hi,
    I have in Word u2018hellou2019 and when I paste it in the Notes of IR and save it, it turns into  018hello 019 so the apostrophes transform into these strange characters.
    I checked with Notepad, Excel and Wordpad and this issue does not occur, only for Word.
    Do you know why this happens ?
    It should be a Word/IE setting as this issue does not occur on a Terminal Server. Only on usersu2019
    workstations.
    Thank you

    Hi Shiva,
    Some styles for font of rich text aren't be kept when I copy the content from Word 2013 and paste into a wiki page from SharePoint 2010/2013(even SharePoint 2007 like this
    post) site as same as yours, it looks like a limitation.
    As a workaround, we can publish the Word content as a Blog article in SharePoint site, then copy the content from the blog page to the needed SharePoint page, it will keep the rich text content format, you can have a try.

    hi i can't seem to copy and paste pdf files from preview to a microsoft word document. it always comes up with nonsense characters in the word document. how do i fix this? thanks in advance

    Hi,
    The quickest way to do this (tested with OS 10.8.2, MS Word 2011) is in one line:
    tell application "Microsoft Word" to close every document whose name begins with "book"
    The reason why your script doesn't work is that you aren't specifying to Word which document you want it to close.
    So, changing one line ought to do it:
    close document incrementvalue -- instead of "close document"
    But... when you close a document, you change the document count. Document 2 becomes document 1, document 3 becomes document 2 etc. So eventually you'd get a message saying "The object you are trying to access doesn't exist".
    Because of this, if you want to do it in a repeat loop, you have to work backwards:
    tell application "Microsoft Word"
      set doc_count to count documents
      repeat with x from doc_count to 1 by -1
      if name of document x begins with "book" then close document x
      end repeat
    end tell
    Hope this helps.

  • Replace Microsoft Word strange characters

  • Acrobat Pro 9.4.6 Printing Strange Characters

    I currently use Acrobat Pro 9.4.6 and when printing to a PDF file it prints strange characters...not at all what I want to be printed. I'm using Windows 7 Home Premium. Have others experienced this? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
    Jim

    Thanks for taking the time to reply. It's interesting that this problem only manifests itself in certain applications. A friend installed a program called CuteWriterPDF and the applications that I was having difficulty with writing PDF files are taken care of perfectly with this small program. It was just an experiment but it worked. This is not a perfect fix as I would prefer a solution from Adobe but at least I'm back up and running.
    Thanks much for taking the time to reply!

    Hi mamae,
    Looks like your Adobe program needs to be updated or reinstalled. Is this issue only appearing when you try to print PDFs? How about from Word processing programs like MS Word or Excel?
    If you have garbled text characters as well with your other programs, you also need to reinstall the printer drivers on your computer. When this happens on the USB connection, usually I had the cable replaced and that fixes it.
    You can also check this article - Continuous Pages of Strange or Garbled Characters Print in Windows
    Here's the Full Feature SW download for: Windows XP or Windows XP x64
    Hope this works for you!
