Thankyou David

I will file this away for when we are looking to convert some of our
existing Megadots files across into Duxbury when we want to retranslate them
into UEBC.

The recommended way of converting a file from MegaDots to DBT is to take 
the MegaDots file and export to HTML. You can then load the HTML file into 
DBT. WOrks in reverse as well.

You lose a lot of the special formats of each program, but you get to keep 
the basics, paragraph layout, italics, atc.
