Hi Deborah,

When I get an rtf document, I bring it up in Word and then save it as a Word
document with a .doc extension.  I bring that file up in Duxbury.  The
resulting document is usually easier to work with than copying and pasting.
Duxbury does not import .rtf files which explains why you got a lot of
garbage when you opened the rtf file in dbt.  Hope this helps a little.

  I have a program that I have to have ready by tomorrow.  It is in rtf
format, and there are tables.  On the left side of the table is the song
name, and at the right is the composer.  So far so good.  What's the best
way to make this work once it's in Duxbury?  I want to maybe preserve the
tables although I can be persuaded to change my mind.  When I saved the rtf
format and then tried to take it into Duxbury, I got all the codes.  When I
copied and pasted-just to see what would happen-I got a pretty good copy but
no table and a few things out of place.  Any ideas?



  When I copied and pasted and was just playing around with it, I put
runovers in cell 3 and it didn't look bad . so I could go with that but the
tables look kind of fancy .  . only thing is I can't figure out how runovers
would be handled in tables.



  Thanks,



  Deb B.
