I would save the file as a TXT document, close document window, then, import the TXT file into Word and see what you get.

Hello, Recently I was sent a word file which I imported into Duxbury 10.4. I do not know the version of Word which was used to create this file; however, the version of Word I use is 2003, although I doubt that this really matters. At any rate, DBT imported the file without difficulty; however, when I looked at the embossed results, I noted a large number of under-score characters (dots 4 and 6) where words in the file were omitted. I seem to recall a couple of years ago seeing a message stating something to the effect that the Word program inserts superscripted words only at the time the document is actually printed; and thus, these words would not actually show when viewing the Word file or when embossing such a file into braille. Am I hallucinating again, or is my very fallible memory correctly recalling the basis of this problem? Also, if this is in fact the problem, is there a fix for it? Many thanks in advance.
