George,
It's not really feasible to overcome the basic limitation. The anathema
with which DBT views spaces in style names runs pretty deep. The best that
we could do is to update SWIFT to map spaces in stylenames into underbars.

Hi Peter,
Re: Now may be a good time to improve things.
PLEASE, pretty please, even!
This will make quite a few "pressing" users with spaces in Style names very
happy, especially in the Oxford, UK, area!
George.

Joanie,
There is indeed a defect in this area, though I'd be hard pressed to say
whether it is a bug. (This is because I don't think that any coder made a
mistake. Rather, we never discussed DBT's design limitation -- no spaces in
stylenames
-- with the developer of SWIFT, so we couldn't expect this to work right.)
You can get around this issue by changing the spaces to underbars in the
.mws file. It's hardly ideal. Now may be a good time to improve things.

Hi all. For a while now, user-defined styles that contain spaces are not
recognized by Duxbury. You can map them with SWIFT and they show up as
expected in your .mws files. But they seem to be ignored when you import
your document into Duxbury. Since spaces are clearly acceptable in built-in
word style names, I assume this is a bug.
