You might try stripping it down in MS Word before importing. Of course
there's the search/replace command in DBT to remove many instances of the
same offence, but that could take a while if there is a great variety of the
formatting codes.

Hello Listers,

My employer wants me to Braille our employee handbook.
It is 146 KB in length.
It was, unfortunately, entered and printed by a sighted
employee using MS Word 2000.  So, there are lots of pretty
codes that do nothing for the Braille copy.  For example:
# c-cedilla #
Is there a quick way to strip out all these codes.
I am running version 10.2 for Windows 95.

Thank you.
