[duxuser] translating heading styles from Word; imbedding codes in Word document

Hello.  I am working with a student who is using DBT 10.7 and Word 2007,
saving documents in the .doc format.  Part of his job involves creation of
some braille documents.  It seems preferable that he do most if not all his
work in Word, and this should be possible.  However, I am running into one
problem so far.

We are working with a document whose creator, of course, did not use heading
styles but should have done so.  However, when we assign heading styles to
the various sections of the document, DBT interprets these, understandably
enough, as outline levels, and so, for instance, adds section numbers where
none previously existed.  In the document, the title is a level 1 heading,
and so the seventh level two heading is named Section 1.7.  I simply want
the text set off as a heading, not numbered.  I see nothing in the behavior
of the mws or in Word importer options to control this behavior.  Can
somebody set me straight on this?

Also, and maybe I just need to rtfm fore this one, how do I imbed a DBT code
such as [>] into a Word document and have it carried out by DBT?  To force a
hard paragraph, I tried imbedding [>] and [[>]] to no avail, but I'm
obviously missing some fundamental knowledge.

Thanks.

Dean
