ACad Table object

[Joro--]

Hello everybody

I have encountered something interesting concerning the TABLE object in AutoCad. I use tables in ACad presenting bills of quantities in the drawing so in one of the columns of the table I put the name of the element (a string) in all other columns I have numbers

So what is my problem - when I use tables on my PC in ACad I can enter values in all columns and rows without any problems. The problem came when I gave my file to another person. When he fills the string fields - supposedly he enters PLATE. Visually there is PLATE written in the cell but marking the cel in the properties palete next to "Contents" property I get {\fArial|b0|i0|c204|p34;PLATE}

It looks like i get some kind of formating together with the text. The real problem is that I have writen a VBA routine to process the table contents and extract to Excel and unfortunately in Excel I get {\fArial|b0|i0|c204|p34;PLATE}

It is strange that on my PC I can correct the cell contents (write again all the strings) and the problem disappears, but whenever I give my file to the other person and he changes the contents the same problem appears

May be it is some variable that makes ACad tables behave like this. Anyone can help?

Thanks beforehandly
