Aloha Betsy, I too would be interested to know if the Scanner Software is ABBYY Fine Reader 9.0 Professional - even if I change the default 'Style/s' to Arial and get rid of all the others there is some strange 'hard coding' going on between ABBYY and Word which does not show up until you use the Swift macro to transfer the document from word to Duxbury! Best regards, John. ________________________________ From: duxuser-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:duxuser-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Betsy Whitney Sent: 19 August 2009 00:20 To: duxuser@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [duxuser] Re: unwanted italics Please let us all know "the rest of the story.

I took the RTF and converted it to a DOC, and then put it into my file with the DBT template. I'll copy the rtf and doc files tomorrow if you'd like to see them. I couldn't find any underlying reasons, but I'd love to know your suspicions. Thanks. Jean
