Michael, For what you're trying to do, you might just want to check "Preserve Skipped Lines" in the Global, Word Importer dialog. The import process makes absolutely no checks for the validity of a code. Moreover, an invalid code will not generally affect translation or formatting. - Peter -----Original Message----- From: duxhelp-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:duxhelp-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Michael Surato Sent: Friday, April 21, 2006 9:27 AM To: duxhelp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [duxhelp] Line breaks in word files Hi, We are trying to create a document that has some blank lines in it. Our final product should look like: Line 1 Line 2 If we leave a blank line in the word file, this is removed when opened in DBT. If we imbed a line break in the word file like so: Line 1 [[*<*]] Line 2 We get two blank lines instead of one (after removing the para. style). Is there a way to get a single blank line in the final product? On a second front, while I was embedding codes into the word file, I attempted to import an error using this ability. By using: Line1 [[*breakme*]] Line2 I was able import the invalid code into DBT. However, this did not affect embossing at all (this is good!). I see that in the manual you mention the [idle] code, is it possible to insert any code, and have anything not recognized be ignored? Thank you very much! +-------------------------------------------+ | Michael Surato | | Resource Center for Persons | | with Disabilities | | Michigan State University | | 120 Bessey Hall | | East Lansing, MI 48824 | | Voice: (517) 353-9643 Fax: (517) 432-3191 | +-------------------------------------------+ * * * * This message is via list duxhelp at freelists.org. * To unsubscribe, send a blank message with * unsubscribe * as the subject to <duxhelp-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>.
