separate – help
This is the "separate
text areas" section. You will be
presented with two text areas, one to contain entirely non-scrambled text and
the other to contain a single scrambled section of text. You must choose whether the non-scrambled
data will be rich text (containing formatting like fonts and colors) or just
plain text (containing no formatting).
If you have already received
text from someone else, you must examine it to see which section of the
application you need:
- If the document contains
intermixed sections of scrambled and non-scrambled text, you should move over
to the "intermixed" area of the application.
- If it is an entirely
non-scrambled document that you intend to scramble as a single section, then
you are in the right area of the application.
If that document contains formatting like bolding, underlining, changes
in fonts, changes in colors, then choose "separate - rich text",
otherwise choose "separate - plain text". Copy the document into the left non-scrambled
text area and scramble it.
- If it is a single scrambled
section, usually delimited by tags [({->
<-})], then you are in the right area of the application. If the original text that was encoded into
that single scrambled section came from rich text, then choose "separate -
rich text", otherwise choose "separate - plain text". If you are not sure, choose the rich text
area. Then copy the document into the
right scrambled text area and unscramble it.
If you mistakenly unscramble
what was originally rich text into the non-scrambled plain text area, all will
not be lost. What you will see is a
bunch of tags that tell rich text areas how to format your text. Buried in the middle of all those tags will
be the text you really want to see.
Simply forget what you just did and move over to the "separate -
rich text" area and copy the original scrambled text there, then
unscramble it and the tags will go away (having instead been used to perform
the text formatting).

product, or go to the web site for assistance.
You can also choose one of the other tabs:
"settings/tools" - to enter your personal
preferences for working in the separate text areas.
"rich text" - to be presented with a rich
text area to use for entirely non-scrambled data and a separate plain text area
to use for a corresponding single scrambled section of text.
"plain text" - to be presented with a plain
text area to use for entirely non-scrambled data and a separate plain text area
to use for a corresponding single scrambled section of text.
