I have an export script that exports a "Merge" file of data for use in a Word merge document. The script exports using Windows (ASCI) method, and outputs a comma delimited text file with the field values in quotations. On the Mac clients, Word will use this file to create the merge document with no issues. On the Windows machines, however, the file is not useable for merges because it contains two record delimiters. I suspect that FMP is using a LFCR delimiter to end the record, instead of just a CR. However, I cannot figure out how to solve the problem on either end. I cannot how to get FMP 11 to export with just a CR instead of the LFCR it uses - or how to tell Word for Windows (2010) that the end of record delimiter is LFCR or 2 CR's or something similar. There is no problem on the Mac side - everything works as intended.
