The parameter --optimize removes the superfluous switches inserted by MS Word.

Syntax

--optimize

Description

When inserting or reformatting REF fields, MS Word sometimes inserts a switch \* FORMATBINDEN or \* MERGEFORMAT, which makes the raw texts less readable and leads to performance disadvantages in CIB merge. CIB merge removes these superfluous switches with the –optimize parameter.

Example

--inputfile=Optimierung_in.rtf
--outputfile=!Optimierung_out.rtf
--optimize
--filter=f

Here all MERGEFORMAT switches are removed from the RTF optimization_in.rtf without mixing in field results (--filter=f). The result letter_optimized does not contain such switches anymore.

The usage of this parameter together with other optimization parameters is described in the Gap Text example.
