Jean and anyone else using Word 2013,
George Bell checked to see how this all worked in Word 2013 and found out that
creating a new document with the BANA template is not like it is in earlier
versions. Duxbury is now aware of this issue.
Apparently Word 2013 doesn’t show custom templates by default. Check out the
following link to see how to fix this.

Jean,
I don’t have Windows 8 or Word 2013, so I’m taking a stab here that things
won’t be too far off from Word 2010 on earlier operating systems.
DBT finishes the template installation when you first start DBT. It will ask
you if you want to install the BANA template. Saying yes puts the template in
the correct Word template folder.
You should be able to use most of the same keystrokes you used in Word 2003. In
fact, it’s easier to use the shortcut keystrokes than it is to figure out how
to get to the templates from the ribbon. Based on Word 2010, Alt-T, I will
bring up the “Templates and Add-ins” dialog. To create a new document with the
BANA template, try Alt-F, N. From there it gets a little trickier, because
Microsoft seems to change the next keystroke with every version of Word. In
Word 2010, “My templates” (shortcut M, therefore Alt-F, N, M) is where the BANA
template is located.
Once you have the template attached, the toolbars will be on the Add-Ins tab of
the ribbon, which is Alt then X, and then you need to know the assigned hotkey
from there. Many of the shortcut keys for specific styles still work, but there
are some conflicts. This is not as convenient as the toolbars in Word 2003.
Setting up shortcut keystrokes for your most frequently used styles is the most
efficient option.
Hopefully the same keystrokes work in Word 2013 and this will get you started.

Hi Pamela,
Well, not really. I’m a Jaws user, not a mouse user. Under the Design tab and
Style Sets, I don’t see anything that looks like a braille template. I have a
lot to learn with this jump from Word 2003 to 2013. Perhaps I just don’t know
how to work the style sets properly yet.

Jean, click Design on the top menu bar.
There you will see many "templates" - they seem to be named "style sets".
Hover your mouse over the first one for instructions.
Is this any help?

HiDiane,
Yes, I know that’s where it is on the computer. Perhaps my question should have
been how to activate the Word template in Word 2013?

In the DBT folder, there is a subfolder called templates. I found it there.
Hope this helps.

I’ve just installed DBT 11 on my new laptop running Windows 8 64 bit and Word
2013. I chose to install the Word template, but where is it? I see the Swift
items under add-ons, but where is the actual template?
