[duxuser] Re: Wish list & Re: Re: Command line options for DBT for windows (ver10.4)

Hi Dale,

I did post a lost of command line parameters a day or two ago.  Let me know if 
you didn't get it.

However, have you tried SWIFT in Word for Windows?

This allows you to emboss direct without having to open DBT.
