Hi Bill,
I see one of your questions about new lines has been responded to.
As regards line length, there are two places you can do this.
If you wish to set a line length as a default for all new documents,
go to DBT's Global menu, and select "Embosser Setup". You will see in
the dialog that comes up where you can set Characters per line.
For any existing documents, for which you wish to change the line
length, open the document's pre-translated file, and go the to
Document menu, and select "Embosser Setup". Note it is the Document
menu you want here.
The same applies as regards characters per line.
Re-translate, and you should find that the length has changed
accordingly.
I do generally advise doing this with the pre-translated document,
just to be absolutely certain that it gets re-formatted properly.
George.

Greetings all,
New list member, Bill Scherer here.
I am not a teacher, actually wish I was.
I do have Duxbury and use it for mostly printing out lyrics for shows
that I'm a singer in.
I'm looking for a way to do simple formatting. I know it's in the help
section, but it seems to be written for smarter folks than I am.
<grin>Leaving a blank line between verses, hard caridge returns are
most of what I need but would certainly be interested in a tutorial to
really use this monster.
Another question is do I need to set line length or is that done
automatically by either the Duxbury program or the Embosser?
Thanks, and sorry to be asking such newbie questions.
Bill
