DBT ignores color fonts and strikethrough. We have tuaght our customers to
enclose stricken text with brackets and new text with asterisks, then we just
put a note to that effect at the beginning of the documents.

Hi Betsy, George and All,
Neither was I using six-key entry via the keyboard nor enclosing format
codes within them. I am editing a PRINT document which requires paragraphs
in different sections to be enclosed within the left and right braces.
Short of using dollar codes, I need further advice!
By the way, is DBT able to handle files with two colour fonts (black and
red)? This file I am working on has certain text in red (which DBT
translates as normal) as well as strike-out text (which DBT ignores
altogether). Or am I missing something!
Cheers,
