[duxuser] A word file problem

Hello,

Recently I was sent a word file which I imported into Duxbury 
10.4.  I do not know the version of Word which was used to create 
this file; however, the version of Word I use is 2003, although I 
doubt that this really matters.

At any rate, DBT imported the file without difficulty; however, 
when I looked at the embossed results, I noted a large number of 
under-score characters (dots 4 and 6) where words in the file 
were omitted.

I seem to recall a couple of years ago seeing a message stating 
something to the effect that the Word program inserts 
superscripted words only at the time the document is actually 
printed; and thus, these words would not actually show when 
viewing the Word file or when embossing such a file into braille.

Am I hallucinating again, or is my very fallible memory correctly 
recalling the basis of this problem?  Also, if this is in fact 
the problem, is there a fix for it?

Many thanks in advance.

Don Roberts
