You can indeed lose text if you import a text document. You need to change the import filter from formatted text to duxbury coded text. Another way round it is to open an empty DBT document and paste the text in from Word.

I put into word document. All is there when I save. Then I go to DBT and open from My Documents. Many times (but not all) there are missing parts of sentences in various paragraphs. Does any one know the reason why? If I reopen just in Word all is fine. Thank you, Denise
