Strange behaviour pasting from DTPO 2.9 to Word 2016

Copying text form scanned PDFs containing umlauts and pasting them into Word ends up with all words containing umlauts are marked as spelling errors.

You don’t see the error, the umlaut is displayed correctly, but … when you go to the letter, delete it, you see the base form of the letter w/o umlaut appearing.

Seems that both forms are contained in the OCR text at the same position. Is there something I can do to prevent that?

Does this also happen after copying text from Preview.app? Then it’s most likely either a PDFkit or Word issue. Or could you send an example to cgrunenberg - at - devon-technologies.com? Thanks!

Tried to redo this a few minutes ago: in Preview and in DT the problem is gone. All umlauts are presented correctly and don’t trigger autocorrect. Strange, but in a good way :smiley: !
