Hi Sandra
We use 10.3 and have two other solutions that can be used to fix this one:
When you open the text file in DBT, change the import filter to "Duxbury
coded text".
Or, open an empty print file in DBT and paste into it the contents of your
txt file.

Hi Johan,
Thanks for the quick reply. I resaved the file as text with line breaks and
was able to get Duxbury to open the whole file--no missing pieces. I'm used
to doing original typing in Duxbury and using a different translation
software when I need to work from Word files (long, boring story). For that
program I just use the save as text option. Being technically challenged, I
didn't realize what I was doing wrong. Next time I'll study the manual a
little longer!

Hello Sandra
Save your text file as text only, with linebreaks. DBT can't handle text
that wraps. No doubt others can explain it better, but your problem is not
a compatibility one.

Good morning, or afternoon, depending on what part of the world you're in,
I am switching over from a pc to a laptop so I can "work on the go" but ran
into a problem I don't remember anyone mentioning before. When I import a
txt file into DBT Win 10.3 I lose the second half of most paragraphs. They
just disappear. When I reopen the txt file the document is whole. I'm
running Windows XP on the laptop. Could that be the problem? I'm also using
an external keyboard for six-key entry since my laptop objects to doing dot
six in combination with more than two other dots.
Any help, suggestions, or information about compatability issues with 10.3
and XP would be greatly appreciated. I don't want to have wasted $1000!
Thanks in advance,
Sandra
