Creating reports from STN
Key issues:
- Transcripts in either RTF or TRN format are supported.
- Images from CA/CAplus are supported only in RTF format. Images from WPIDS are supported in either RTF or TRN formats.
- Indented formats (such as IBIB) are not supported (with the exception of the Derwent World Patents Index). If your chart has lots of empty cells, you probably imported a transcript with indented records.
- Images may be included in transcripts created with QWEB and QPAT.
- Warning: when creating RTF transcripts for use with BizInt Smart Charts, do not save or edit the RTF file in MS Word. If you do, you will not be able to import the transcript. We recommend that you turn off the STN Express option to "Launch Word when saving as RTF" under Preferences | Postprocessing.
BizInt Smart Charts supports STN transcripts created using the following tools:
- STN Express 5.0, 6.0 and above.
- Other terminal software
