Excel upload adds non printable chars

[Peter Cowen]

Hi,
I’m using the Excel feature of eaDocX to enter description text for the columns in a table modelled in EA
Initial upload seems to work okay
But subsequent uploads when editing a description, other descriptions (un edited in excel) appears to have some non printable characters inserted into the description.
This looks to be where I’m entering a linefeed in excel – alt return

Is something in the excel -> eadocx -> EA route padding newlines?

We strongly suggest that you do NOT use eaDocX/Excel for editing ‘notes’ fields of ANY element type.
The EA content is stored in a non-standard, not well-formed HTML-ish format, which gets all kinds of odd characters added.
It seems to just-about work when notes are read then written back, but editing seems to cause issues.
We’ll look again at this in V4, currently in development
