If I suspect this is happening, I must do my processing in WordPerfect,
since I don't own Word. This leaves behind a lot of styles etc., but those
may not have been done correctly anyway. In WP, under the Files, Document
submenu, you have some document compare options, including one which
removes redline and strikeout markup. The purpose is to make the document
ready for final distribution, as though all revision markup had been
accepted. There must be similar features in Word.

Hello, Duxusers! Last week I received a Word document to be brailled which I opened both in DBTW and in Word so I could print it for reference in making formatting decisions. As I worked through the document in DBTW, I discovered that there was text that had opened in DBTW that had not appeared in the copy opened in Word ... and then later on, I found a couple of pages that had opened in Word that did not appear in DBTW. I called the client who had sent the document, and we determined that the discrepancies were probably due to the fact that the document had been reviewed/edited using the Word tracking feature. Unfortunately, the client was not sufficiently familiar with the tracking feature to be able to identify what specifically caused text to open in one program and not the other.
I'm wondering if any of you have experience working with tracked documents, and whether you could suggest some (hopefully simple) guidelines I could pass on to clients who submit tracked documents to be brailled ... so as to avoid this kind of situation in the future.
Thanks for any suggestions,
