Hi Steve,
As I have now discovered from Joe Sullivan, the Dollar
Command does in fact still work. However, there is a trick
to it.
First, you MUST “Save As” a text file, with a .txt
extension.
Second, when you import the file into DBT you MUST change
DBT’s Import Filter to “Duxbury Coded Text …”
Third, know that $compress cancels $as-is.
I’ve just done a series of tests here to prove it out, and
believe it or not, using Vista Ultimate and Word 2007.
George.

George,
It's all coming back to me now - the good old dollar codes
from days of DOS. I don't need $as-is, but I think it
should be fixed since it isn't quite dead yet.

Hi Steve,
I'm informed by software development that $as-is was the
instruction to retain spacing, but although never officially
retired, it doesn't work now.
It's on file to be looked at, and thanks for the reminder
about it.
George.
