In areas of Horizon where you have the option to save a file, you may also have the option to save the file in Unicode. When you save a file in Unicode, any file you save as a new file or any file you save over another existing file, thereby replacing it, is saved as a Unicode file.
If you do not save the file in Unicode, the file is saved in the codepage character set that matches the character set of your database. For example, if your computer is using the Russian codepage 866, the file is saved in Russian. (For more information on codepages, see your Windows user guide or Windows online help.)
If you select an existing file and choose to append the open file to the existing file, the appended file matches the saved format of the existing file.
You can save files in Unicode in several areas of Horizon, including:
• | Circulation Reports. You can save notices as an e-mail file, or save reports to a file. |
• | Serials Control. You can export a prediction pattern. |
• | Staff searching. You can save a bib record to a file. |
If the system to which you are sending a file (such as an email program, a BISAC or EDIFACT electronic order, or another utility) cannot display Unicode, you should not save your file in Unicode. Characters that cannot export in Unicode format will be displayed as an asterisk ( * ).
To save files in Unicode
1 | In Horizon, display the information you want to save as a file. |
For example, use the New Search process to find a bib record that displays foreign characters.
2 | Choose File, Save to File. |
Horizon displays the Save to a File window.
3 | Mark the Save as Unicode box. |
4 | Do one of these options: |
To save a new file in Unicode |
To replace an existing file, or append new information to an existing file |
|||||||||||||||
The file is saved in Unicode format. |
The file name appears in the File name field.
A window opens asking if you want to Overwrite, Append, or Cancel the save.
Windows saves the new information in Unicode format, and deletes the original file. Windows attaches the new information to the end of the original file in the same format as the original file. |
