Losing punctuation when importing text

# 7 years ago
caffiendKitty Member	Hello, I'm importing a large block of text and words with punctuations, particularly apostrophes, are being separated into two different words. For example, I'm gets split into I and m. I can manually fix words like don to don't, but I can't tell which number of I is part of a contraction and which is a count of the actual word I. I saw a forum entry saying to add it to the tag tab … I can't for the life of me figure out how to do that and I'm wondering if that's still an option in the current UI. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks!

Hello,

I'm importing a large block of text and words with punctuations, particularly apostrophes, are being separated into two different words. For example, I'm gets split into I and m. I can manually fix words like don to don't, but I can't tell which number of I is part of a contraction and which is a count of the actual word I.

I saw a forum entry saying to add it to the tag tab … I can't for the life of me figure out how to do that and I'm wondering if that's still an option in the current UI.

Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks!

Alex Key Master	The easiest solution I see is to replace "I'm" into "I am" and "don't" into "do not". But please be advised that Tagul will drop all the words less than 3 characters in length. Thus "I", "am", "do" will be dropped. Alternatively you can replace "I'm" into "Iam" and "don't" into "dont" and then add the apostrophe manually after importing your text.

caffiendKitty Member	Thanks so much, I appreciate your response. I did do the first suggestion, but I think I like the alternate solution better. Thanks again. Awesome service by the way.
