Dale,
I think the easiest way to deal with something like this is to edit the
.dxp file after importing. In this case, you could simply delete the X
before the name, add it in after the name (with a space), and add a line
break codes [l] before the next name. A transcriber's note could be
added explaining that an X after the name means ...
I don't know if there's a way to eliminate the line break step by doing
something in WP. I know that in Word, a table can be converted to
"text", with no formatting except that tabs are added between columns
and line breaks at the end of rows. Maybe someone knows if there is a
similar function in WP.
This probably isn't much help, but since no one else seemed to have a
ready answer, I thought I'd put in 2 cents.
Lynn

Subject: [duxuser] Importing WordPerfect tables how can I?
Hi,
I get various minutes and agenda with a cover page showing who was
expected and who was present. This is done in a WordPerfect 8 or 9
table. DBT doesn't do a very nice job of formatting this for me.
The table has a cell which is checked if the person was present, then
the name of the person and then a description of who that person is.
DBT places an X in the first cell if the person is present but does not
put a space so it bangs into the first character of the person's name.
The rows are not separated by linefeeds so the next X is an extension of
the line unless coincidently it lands at the end of the braille line. If
the person was not present no space is inserted and of course the
columns do not line up. This I do not care about but reading such a list
isn't very meaningful, is slow and is very difficult to locate a
specific name if that is important.
Is there an easy way to help DBT figure out what to do with such a list
in table format to help improve readability? Remember this is a table
inserted into a WordPerfect document.
Thanks for any advice or assistance.
Thanks.
