adding to my question -- I notice this does not happen to all files but only to the ones I exported from nvivo. But I exported as normal text files and look normal to me but turn up wierd in Rapidminer. Please help.

Hello,
Are you sure those second characters are spaces and not with code 0? (Spaces have code 32.) It seems -assuming those are 0s- that the nvivo files are saved as UTF-16 with
byte order mark
set. (I guess RM do not try to use the encoding specified by BOMs.)
Cheers, gabor

thanks a lot for the reply. They look like spaces to me . I am not sure if they are anything else. In notepad I see them as a white space.

Di you try to change the encoding parameter of Process Documents from Files?
Best regards,
