However, when I export a record, it gets 2 characters added to the beginning which look like a cedilla and an upside down circumflex, which prevents QuarkXPress from recognising it as tagged text. Does anyone know where these have come from? If I copy and paste the field contents, they are not there.
Using Export Field Contents produces a Unicode file Emma: those 2 characters are the Unicode byte-order-marker (BOM). Non-Unicode text files are produced using the standard Export commmand, using a file- management plug-in (eg, Troi File), or using shell scripting or AppleScript.
