     I hadn't ever paid attention to this option, either, but when I just
looked now, that option is checked in my Adobe Reader.
    I don't know if I mentioned this, but I can view the text in the PDF
quite well.  The problem is in extracting said text into any other format,
like MS Word or MS NotePad.

Hello Sanjana,

 

I am not sure if I understand your question fully. First of all, does this have anything to do with the message you quote below? I guess not.

 

Do you want to convert full-width (全角) characters like ＴＨＩＳ into half-width (半角) characters like THIS?

 

This is easy to do if you are using MS Word. Simply highlight the text to convert and then click Format à Change Case…, select the Half-width radio button and click OK.

 

This will convert the characters.

 

I hope this helps.

Hellon Alansan,

 

Thanks for your advise. It did work.

I hv been working with Word for the project. after translating, i select all text and change the font to arial. but there might be some spaces which are in double byte. the method quoted by u workd. But the wavy line that denotes a grammatical or spelling error does not appear.

 

so trying to find a way for it.

 

thanks

Use find and replace to replace double-byte spaces with single-byte spaces. BB
