Hi Eyþór
Can you send me your Word and Duxbury files please, but to the company
e-mail, NOT the list.
Ben has the details, but they are below here anyway.

At the end of the first column dots 25 at the end of the Second column
dots 23 and the third dots 256.
I'm stationed in Iceland and am using the Icelandic basic template.

I have imported a table from MS Word and it is shown correctly except
that there are some symbols at the end of each column that I cannot
see any explanation for. Can you tell me why they are there and how I
can remove them?

It is extremely difficult to deal with table initially.
You need to have some idea of the size first - i.e. number of columns,
lines, and equally importantly, what is eppected to be the width of
the column.
Tables with pure numbers of say 4 digits, can often be done like a
printed table.
On the other hand, if there is a description column which can go say
30 or 40 columns wide, you have to usually use the "Stairstep" format,
and even then, if the description is in the 4th, 5th, 6th column of
above, that may not always be best.
Let's have some idea of what you table look like, and equally
importantly where you are based? (Since the latter may affect how
things are laid out)
George.

I have only recently started using duxbury and need to import a word
document containing some simple 3 or 4 columnar tables. I have not
been able to find a good explanation on tables in the Duxbury help
files and so am wondering if any one can drop some tips on how it's
best to handle them.
Best regards
EyThor Kamban
