segmentation rule does not work Thread poster: mmiikkaa

HI, Winalign 6.5: any segment starting with a number followed by a dot, for example: 15. September 2007 was a bad day for me.* winalign always ignores and skips the "15.", even though in Segmentation rules, the Number stop checkbox is unchecked. I tried to fiddle with all the other choices too, including creating an ordinal follower list, creating a skip rule, but to no avail. Could you please help me, maybe post a screenshot of the segmentation rules windo... See more HI, Winalign 6.5: any segment starting with a number followed by a dot, for example: 15.

Insert a non breaking space between the number with dot and the next word. This will stop WinAling from segmenting after a number with a dot. PS 15. September 2007 was a bad day for me - this is simply not true 15th of September was (is) one of the best days in my life

thanks - good, but not enough :-) | Jan 25, 2008 |
that is not possible for me. This concerns a vast load of documents that have already been translated, come every day and need to be aligned on a daily basis. It would be too time consuming to go through all of them and replace all the spaces. I want winalign to do the wotk for me. Any ideas? | | |

If yes, a simple macro will do. If no, try to mark the segmentation rule box "Number stop" so, that it is neither checked, nor not checked. In fact it has three possible settings - off, on, ignore. You need ignore. Maybe this will do what you need. | |

thank you again for helping me. I am concerned with Word files, that is true, however, for the time being, the macro is not a solution (strict company procedures). Ignore in Number stop does not work, either, I think I must have systematically exhausted all options. BUt I might have made a mistake. If you can still bear with me, I would really like to make winalign work and not find workarounds. If you find a way to make winalign do its job and keep the "15." in a segm...

If you find a way to make winalign do its job and keep the "15." in a segment pair like: September 15 is a great day. 15. September ist ein super Tag. just through the settings, please send me a screenshot. thanks a lot ▲ Collapse | | |
