Hi Karen,
In order to enter a Code with parameters, you need to hold
down the Ctrl key and press left square bracket. A pair of
square brackets will pop us, with your cursor between them.
Type the Code and its parameters, for example:-
stb1:l:10
then press the End key to move your cursor to the outside
right of the new Code.
Repeat the process until you have entered all your codes.
George.

Thanks, I tried copying and pasting but get an error message
saying that I can't use text that I have to use F5. If I use
F5, I get codes like
[cts][taa] but how would I put the stop positions in? I know
taa is for tabs on same line.
I thought I'd be able to copy the codes below as a group or
set and edit them in the Add Styles dialog box. I am in the
beginning and ending code section of the process. What am I
doing wrong?
Cheers, Karen

Regardless as to whether you input the tabs you want
to set for a
particular table manually or in a style, you
automatically change
DBT's default tab stops.
Obviously, you would put the tab stop positions for
your table in the
"Beginning Codes" edit field. And yes, you will
need to include the
[cts] (clear tab stops code as the first code.
In the "end codes" edit field, type the following
codes to reset DBT's
default tab stops, as follows:
[stb2:l:3][stb3:l:5][stb4:l:7][stb5:l:9][stb6:l:11[stb7:l:13
][stb8:l:15]
If you have several tables in a file, you can create
additional table
styles and base them on you original table style.
You will obviously
have to give each table a separate name.
Sincerely:
Dave Durber
