Hi, George. Thanks for getting back to me. Out of curiosity,
if a Word Style has been modified, could it possibly then
not be recognized in DBT? I haven't modified any styles
necessarily, but in addition to applying the heading styles
I often like to have them centered. Is it possible that this
messed up the import? I'd be more than willing to share the
document with anyone who's willing to check it out. Thanks.
Caroline

Hi Caroline,
I'm delighted to hear that you use Word Styles so
extensively. I'm just in the process of reformatting a
massive Word document where not one single style has been
used, and it is driving me insane. Be assured that this
feature very much remains, and applies to Word 2007 as in
previous versions.
Given that you have been saving Word 2007 documents
as Word 2003 docs, and importing successfully to DBT 10.5,
it sounds like this one suffered some kind of fluke
behaviour.
Do Word documents you previously created import O.K.
If you did upgrade to 10.6, you will find that the
SWIFT utility now works in Word 2007, adding a "DBT" item to
Word's "Add-ins" on the ribbon bar. If you then use the
"Add-ins: DTB: Duxbury Braille" item to open DBT from within
Word 2007, it will at least warn you if the document is not
already saved in Word 98-2003 document format.
George.

Subject: [duxuser] Latest DBT and Word 2007
Hi everyone. I currently have DTB 10.5. I've been
wanting to upgrade but have been putting it off for several
reasons. Yesterday I think I just found a really big reason
for the upgrade, but I wanted to ask some questions before
proceeding.
I do most of my document preparation now in Word
2007. I'm still saving my documents in the 2003 format, but
2007 is being used for document creation. I use Worde styles
very heavily, both because in the past it's allowed for a
much nicer transition into DBT, but also because then I know
that visually, my document looks good as well.
I created a document yesterday that used the Title,
Heading 1, and Heading 2 styles, saved it, and opened it in
DBT. Unlike my previous documents created with Word 2003,
about 99 percent of my styles were just gone. It showed bold
text, but that was about it, so I had to go through the
document and redo all my headings and things.
So, my question is this. Would upgrading to DBT 10.6
SR4 allow me to work with my Word documents the way I did
prior to Word 2007, or can I just no longer do much of my
formatting from within Word? To me, this has always been a
great feature, and I hope that this hasn't been lost. Thanks
in advance for any suggestions.
Also, I resubscribed to this list last night and
haven't seen any messages yet. Just in case, when replying,
could you please also send your responses to me directly at
listmailstuff@xxxxxxx so that I'm sure of getting them?
Thanks so much for any comments.
Caroline
