J.R. is using the BANA template, which treats the [lea] differently than
other DBT templates. When using the BANA template, the runover of the
style is honored after inserting a new page number mid-paragraph ...
however the number MUST be followed by a space.
Right now, the file has
I [lea]4[l] still
Use a space after the number
I [lea]4 still
and everything will be OK. Using [l] within a BANA template style is
similar to using Ctrl-M ... however, instead of creating a new paragraph
with its own set of style codes, it creates a new paragraph WITHIN the
SAME style codes. That's what happened here ... it was just coincidental
that it was after the page number.

Hi J.R. (And sorry for the attachments being
added here, but I'm copying this to Peter & Joe)
And sorry also re my earlier message, but I found
I needed to look at this before I slept. So I
could still be wrong in what I believe I have
found.
Unfortunately you didn't attach the Word file, so
this is much of a guess.
Basically, it appears that there is a Style in
the original document called "B-BodyText".
This is a Custom Style, and not mapped in the MWS
file. So, it gets brought into DBT - as is - so
to speak.
If you change that Style to "para.", you don't get
the indent. Obviously DBT's inner workings
recognise the [lea] code within the "para." Style,
and so deal with it as you would expect.
As to a solution, and again without the original
file I'm largely guessing, but could you perhaps
try:-
1) Mapping "B-BodyText" to "para" in your MWS
file, or....
2) Use SWIFT to do the mapping of Custom Styles
for you.
I have to confess that I am a shade worried about
Custom Word Styles coming into DBT in this way.
In some ways it is good, and personally as a,
"Styles Man" I really like it. However, I suspect
it may cause some confusion unless SWIFT is used
properly.
All the best,
George.

George,
Here are the two files attached.
1) a .dxp file with 6 print pages showing the
problem.
2) the .brf file after translation.
Let me know what you discover.
Don and I are doing further testing as well and
I'll let you know what we find.
Thanks,
J. R.

Hi J.R.,
Can you provide a small actual example?
What Template is this with? (I've just tested
with the Standard Literary Template)
FWIW, I do a Ctrl + [, type lea, and press enter.
Then I type the page number followed by a space,
and continue with the text.
Are you by any chance pressing Return after
entering the print page number?
Sorry if I am asking the obvious, but it's tricky
to tell what's happening without seeing an
example.
All the best,
George.

page indicator is indented two cells in .brf files
I'm running the latest beta release and this
problem is causing me major fits.
Is there a work around for it?
The two spaces are not shown in any of the files
except after saving as a .brf file
There is not even a way to edit these out except
by editing the .brf file after translation.
