Catalina,
You're probably better off if your boss can give you Word documents instead of
text files since most of the formatting will be preserved. Before Version
10.5, text files were regarded as the most reliable, but this is no longer true
with newer versions of DBTW.
You can force indentation of the first line of each paragraph in one of two
ways. You can insert a paragraph code ([p]) by typing Ctrl-M, or you can use
the paragraph style (which does the same thing) by selecting the text you want
to treat as a paragraph, pressing F8 to bring up the style list, and selecting
"Para". In either case, you'll have to remove any hard line breaks from
everywhere except the ends of the paragraphs. Unfortunately, removing hard line
breaks means you'll have to go through the entire file and delete the ones you
want to discard. Doing a find and replace on the whole file is risky because
you may accidentally remove more than you wanted to.

Subject: [duxuser] 2 questions, please?
Hi to the list:
I have a couple of formatting questions.
First, my boss gives me a text file that is formatted nicely with numbers
and headings. When I open it in Duxbury, most of the formatting is gone. some
of it runs together and the line returns are gone. How can I fix that?
Secondly, what code do I need to use to have the information after the
paragraph indent.
I'm using duxbury 10.7. Thanks
