Changing how asterisks are displayed in Invoice Verify

This procedure can help you if you configured the system to find asterisks on invoices and it is a problem that Invoice Verify displays extraction errors in the same way as extracted asterisks.

Instructions

1. If you do not already know, find out which code page the system is set up to use for invoices. (In most cases it is 1252.) One way to find out:

   1. Use a text editor to open Ehcharset.ini.

      Default location in Windows XP and Windows Server 2003: C:\Program Files\ReadSoft\DOCUMENTS\Invoices

      Default location in the newer operating systems: C:\Users\Public\ReadSoft\DOCUMENTS\Invoices

      Otherwise as specified by the GlobalPath setting in Eilocal.ini.

   2. Find the section pertaining to the language you are extracting (for example [English]). The last line of that section tells you the code page number (for example CodePage=1252).

2. Using a text editor such as Notepad, open Ehcharmap50.par. In a default installation, this file is found in C:\Program Files\ReadSoft\DOCUMENTS\Bin.

3. Find the two sections pertaining to your code page (for example [1252_PR] and [1252_HW]).

   Each of the sections contains this line:

   *=42

   42 is the ASCII code for the asterisk character. Change the 42 to the ASCII code for the character you want to be displayed in Verify in place of extracted asterisks.

   Example: 43 is the ASCII code for the plus sign (+). If you change *=42 to *=43, characters that are extracted as asterisks are displayed as plus signs, making it easier for you to tell them apart from extraction errors.

4. Save and close the file.
