Hi Don:
I know that was true in versions of DBT up to and including 10.4.
However, apparently, this is not the case in 10.5 because 10.5 is
supposed to have a more direct interface with an embosser so that you
should only have to change the settings for your embosser in one place
and not two.
I think I have got the right handle on things. If I haven't I dare
say I will be corrected for attempting to put my brain in gear and
thinking I got it right! Grin, Grin, Grin.! Ah! shucks! My smile
shattered from grinning too much.
What I wouldn't give for a pint of "old Thumper". I can taste it now!
Sincerely:
Dave Durber
