An interesting error occurred with SoftPro Select last week while rendering a document. The error was Document error, an error occurred while processing the document: Removal of token 'SoftPro.Documents.Markup.Tokenizer.CommandToken failed.

The problem was being caused by something hidden in pasted text. In this case it was a Policy and the field was the legal description. If you're running into this issue, consider where the document is obtaining information then examine that information. Cleaning up the text, by pasting into Notepad (or NotePad++ on my machine) and back is the solution. when pasting to multi line fields in Select. (start notepad by clicking the run button and typing notepad.exe)

This issue put a text event in the Windows Event log, Source is SoftPro Select, with the details containing the critical information.

The first error was:

The calculation expression could not be compiled. Native return value -1.
Expression= = “True”
(1,2) error FC0025: Syntax error.

That is followed by another message:

The calculation expression could not be compiled. Native return value -1.
Expression=Not IsEmpty()
(0,0) error FC0029: Invalid unary operand.
(1,13) error FC0041: Syntax error - expected a field code expression.

Those messages are repeated three more times before giving up and displaying the user error.

If you're still reading along, the SoftPro Select version is 4.0.30302.62.  Have you tried NotePad++ as a replacement for NotePad yet?  TextPad is another fine replacement. I like NotePad++ better.
