Actually that isn't arbitrary at all. Indenting to the third cell is the
BANA standard for paragraphs and DBT follows BANA standards by default in
North America.
That said, if you wish to produce braille according to a non-standard
format, it should be possible to change it in DBT. If you are having
trouble changing a style or creating a template and making it stick,
perhaps a call to our tech support would be in order. The number is
978-692-3000. You will need to have your license number available, which
you can find by opening DBT and going to Help/About DBT (Alt-H-A). You

I'm hoping someone will be able to assist me with this question. I am trying to modify the paragraph style. I don't like the fact that Duxbury arbitrarily puts the first word of all paragraphs imported from word, in the third space. I can enter the [svprg[ parameters at the beginning of each document, but I don't want to have to do that. I first tried making a template which included the [svprg] parameters I wanted, but I didn't get the effect I wanted. The parameters I entered were [svprg1:1:1]. This did work for me in previous versions. I next tried modifying the style. I entered [ind0] to replace the beginning code [p], but it doesn't stay in effect. Every time I look at the style again, the [p] has come back. I did save the setting by pressing the ok button after entering the parameters in the paragraph style. It used to be so much easier when Duxbury allowed you to set paragraph style to none rather than making the decision all paragraphs should be indented. That really messes with poetry mode, which I use a lot.* * * * This message is via list duxuser at freelists.org. * To unsubscribe, send a blank message with * unsubscribe * as the subject to
