Hi DeanI've seen somewhere recently, I think it was in DBT Help, that the DBT codes in WMsord should be entered between [[* opening and *]] closing delimiters. I tried it, and it worked! Have been wanting this for many years.

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 ofsome braille documents. It seems preferable that he do most if not all hiswork 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 headingstyles but should have done so. However, when we assign heading styles to the various sections of the document, DBT interprets these, understandablyenough, as outline levels, and so, for instance, adds section numbers wherenone 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 wantthe text set off as a heading, not numbered. I see nothing in the behaviorof 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 ahard paragraph, I tried imbedding [>] and [[>]] to no avail, but I'm obviously missing some fundamental knowledge. Thanks.
