Susan, I understand what you are saying in response to my previous post
however, I do not believe that we should need to be altering the Word
hyperlink style.
Surely, DBT can be programmed to ignore the underlining of hyperlink text
when the text is within DBT set in the compinline codes. By doing as you
suggest and changing the hyperlink style within the Word template would
affect the visual look of all word documents and to my mind, this would be
completely unsatisfactory.
I hope this makes sense to programmers like Peter and Jo. I will be
interested to hear your responses.
Kind regards
Christine
DBT is honoring the Word Hyperlink style, which is underlined (but as Christine has said, you don't want the dots 4-6 in braille).
You can modify Word's Hyperlink by removing the underlining. You can also change the font to Courier New (if you have your Word importer set up that way), but in reality DBT doesn't even need that for the Hyperlink style. If you want the Word Hyperlink style to be permanently changed for all future documents, make sure you check "Add to template" after you are done modifying Hyperlink.

Hi All,
I have been trying out the "compinline" code and believe that there still may be an error with it.
Some weeks ago I raised the concern about how it was dealing with text. Peter and Jo gave this a lot of time and that problem seems to have been solved. However, I note that when text which in word is formatted as a hyperlink is imported into DBT10.5, it is surrounded by the compinline codes - and so it should be. However, the problem is that the underlining is being shown and so, a web address which comes from word into DBT comes as:
<compinline>[fts~u]www.duxburysystems.com[fte~u]</compinline>
and the web address appears in computer code brackets with dots 4-6 (between the opening code and the first w) to indicate the underlined text.
Is anyone else experiencing this problem?
Many thanks
Christine
