Hi Dean,
Welcome to Word 2007.
Let me answer the easy question first [[*Code*]] will embed
DBT Codes into Word. That is, two left square brackets, and
asterisk, the DBT Code, an asterisk, two right square
brackets.
And FWIW, if I am preparing a document which will also be
needed in ink-print, I usually create a Word Character
style, based on default, but with "Hidden" text, and apply
that to the special text.
You'll find some useful topics covering both aspects in
Help: Working with Word: Using DBT Codes.
Your main problem has me quaking in my boots as I have
recently had what sounds like exactly the same problem with
a massive 130 page Word 2007 document.
Unfortunately what appeared visually to be Headings, we're
in fact part of a numbering process, and when I applied
appropriate Heading Styles, the numbering went haywire.
But having said that, a Word Heading Style should remain a
DBT Heading Style when imported.
I simply wasn't prepared to have a fight with Word 2007 as
the document was extremely urgent, so I simply did a "Save
as:" and saved as a .txt (Text) file, which preserved the
original numbering, and started Styling from scratch.
However, if you'd like to send the document to me as an
attachment to george@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx I'd be happy to
take a look and try to see exactly what the problem is. It
would be also useful from a general point of view, as we
don't yet see too many Word 2007 documents.
All the best,
George.

Subject: [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
