Re: The "Input is Invalid" Error

Hi Lukas, Thank you very much for your interest in this problem. I have attached two sample documents, both are .doc files generated by Open Office 2.4. I generated the error by simply copying and pasting the contents of the documents into Pier's edit box. (I'm using Firefox on Ubuntu Linux.) Sample_One does not work, while Sample_Two works just fine, and the only thing I did in Sample_Two was delete the long dash between the words "conclusion" and "whatever" and replace it with a period. So Magritte is not generating errors based on the encoding of the whole message, it's responding to specific characters (which I assume it can't read.) Thus my suggestion that the problem be solved by simply replacing those characters with a question mark or a box, plus perhaps a message to the user. As to your suggestion that I add some code... I'd love to, but you could put everything I know about Squeak in a thimble and have room left over. (I plan to work on Squeak in my spare moments, but it will be many months before I'm ready to contribute to a sophisticated project.) But I'll happily submit additions to the documentation as appropriate, and supply you with a continuing stream of bug reports as our development goes forward. Thanks, Alex Lukas Renggli wrote:
