I was working with copying editing quad curves from excel straight into TextEdit where I opened the original .quad file, and it would never work. Pasting the same thing into TextWranger and saving that as .quad works just fine though. There has to be something with the way the qtr script sees white space or carriage returns that causes these kinds of problems. I'd don't know what those things actually do to cause the problem but i've gotten ok at whackin around them.
You might want to try something like textwrangler to see if that alone solves the problem.
