Will have a go with this suggestion in my next iteration.
I feel the need to suggest that the writers of the Duxbury manual improve
on the tables discussions when documentation is next updated.
Best.
Vaughan.

Hi Vaughan,
Just go into coded view in DBT and remove the [htbs] from the beginning of
the table and then remove the [htbe] code from the end. You will also most
likely need to remove the tab stops, but you can use find and replace and
replace the tabs with spaces. Hope this helps.

Hello Jeanie.
The document started out as a pdf, which I now default to open in Word. I
did some basic editing to make headings consistent and removed extraneous
characters, set up the runnking heading etc. It has been imported from Word
into DBT, and the drinks table is easier to navigate within Duxbury.
I would in fact like the command in Word to strip all of the row/colum n
markers, and so might just do the alt-q thing. Then return to DBT.
The Duxbury manual refers to table properties which provide for different
types of tables, but I am not sure that the information helps me much. And
of course, the document will go on to A4 Braille with the 30 characters per
line setting.
I'm just wondering about defaulting all of this to a list, so suggestions
to help me always welcomed.
Best.
Vaughan.

Hi Vaughn,
I haven't experimented with this, but wondering if you have it as a word
document what Duxbury does on import (which seems to be quite different to
copy and paste). And failing that is there a simple command to copy the
contents of a table without the table itself in word, I thought there was,
which would be easier than selecting each row.

Hello everyone.
I am working on a restaurant menu so that several of us going to lunch have
Braille copies. It is a private activity, so although I want a quality
document, it does not need to be transcriber perfect.
The source document has its drinks menu listed within a table. I want to
keep the items, but remove the table column and row fields. The text
consists of item, quantity and price.
Is it possible to do this easily with Duxbury 12.7 or do I have to go and
carry out a manual editing of each row and column?
Thanks.
Vaughan.
