George,
What process are you interested in? Adding the codes to
AutoText or putting the AutoText on menus?

Actually, it's much easier to create the code in hidden text
and then create an AutoText entry ... that way you don't
have to type the code in every time. I'm putting the various
codes on menus in the Word BANA template ... that updated
template will be in the next beta.

Hi Jan,
Oh were there an easier way! But at least there's a way.
As regards hiding the text, there are two ways I know of,
and possibly many options and alternatives, I am sure.
1) Highlight the text in question. Go to Word's Format menu
and select Font. Check the "Hidden Font" box.
2) Create a CHARACTER Style in Word, and under Font, check
"Hidden Text", then apply the style as required. In my
experiments, I have also made the font a red colour so that
it stands out.
However do take care since under Word's Tools menu, Options,
and then the View Tab, there is also a show Hidden Text
check box, if either that, or the "All" box are checked, you
will still see the text.
I think it's fair to say that nobody is advocating this as
an ideal way to Code documents for DBT. However, it is an
OPTION, and certainly for me, a pretty nifty one. DBT's Word
importer has seen many improvements over the past year or
two, and this just adds a little icing to the proverbial
cake. You may still need to do the final cake decoration in
DBT itself.
George.

As it stands now, you so long as you enclose the DBT code as
above, it will be imported from Word to DBT.
It also works if you make that text "Hidden Text" in Word,
and therefore does not affect the appearance of the Word
document.
It would be good to see and hear some feedback, especially
as I need to write it up for Help.
George.
