George, For the case that David mentions your approach is the correct one -- it's simple and, more importantly, it gets the job done. At the moment, the only way generally to remove codes without DBT attempting to maintain pairings is to use Search/Replace while in coded view. But that is tough to manage -- certainly trickier than just setting an option and using delete, backspace, or what-have-you. I'll keep the suggestion in mind for a future revision. - Peter -----Original Message----- From: duxhelp-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:duxhelp-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Friday, December 15, 2006 12:15 PM To: duxhelp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [duxhelp] Re: <para.> Hi David, Yes. Highlight the end of the first and beginning of the second paragraph. Go to the Layout menu, Join Styles. Although in an ideal world (hint, hint, Peter) it would be nice to have an advanced user option to remove just one of a pair of tags. George. -----Original Message----- From: duxhelp-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:duxhelp-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: 15 December 2006 16:07 To: duxhelp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [duxhelp] Re: <para.> Peter I wonder if you know of a way round the following problem. The codes <para.> and </para.> are linked. If one is deleted the other automatically deletes itself. This means that if you attempt to merge two paragraphs together by pressing [delete] [delete] [space] at the start of the second paragraph then both paragraphs loose their codes and the combined paragraph is no longer indented at its start.
