George, barely sighted <grin> but the people who will do the scanning are
sight and I think that the help I got from everybody this morning will
make their job easier.
Thanks again,

No problem there Judi. If you are sighted, you can use Word's "Format
Painter" to apply Headings which can make the job a lot quicker.

Thanks to Ray and Morgan,
One more question. Why can't I use the NORMAL STYLE for the full Word
document and add h1 and h2 codes as needed? These are important to me to
be able to generate a Table of Contents.
Thanks again.

You can make the entire Word document normal if you want. I generally do
not because I want to use the heading 1 and heading 2 styles, which get
imported into Duxbury at h1 and h2, respectively. If you aren't worried
about these, just select the whole document and click "normal" in that
little drop down box (it should be on your toolbar - if not, choose
"Format >> Styles and Formatting?").
If you do want to preserve heading 1 and heading 2 styles (which may or
may not have been recognized by omnipage) you will have to scroll through
the document to one of the paragraphs that is importing into Duxbury as
b-bodytext. Look to see what style it is, then do a find ? replace
command to replace every single character in that style with the same
character in the normal style (after saving a backup copy, of course). To
do this, press Ctrl+h, type (*) in the "Find what" box and \1 in the
"Replace with" box. Press the "More >>" button. Check the "Use
wildcards" box. Then click inside the "Find what" box, choose "Format >
Style?" and choose the style that is importing incorrectly into
Duxbury. Then click inside the "Replace with" box, choose "Format >
Style?" and choose normal. Hit "Replace All" and give the computer a
moment or two to replace every character.
Good luck! I hope I explained this well.

Can I make the entire Word document NORMAL or is this a style that needs
to be inserted before each paragraph? And yes please, tell me how. I know
DTB but can get really lost in Word.
Many thanks

This probably has to do with styles within Word. Make sure all paragraph
text is in the normal style (you can choose style in the drop-down that
lets you choose Heading 1, Heading 2, Clear Formatting, etc). You may
have to do a find/replace to replace * of whatever style is making the
b-bodytext with the found text in the normal style. Let me know if you
need details about how to do this.

A volunteer group is going to do some scanning for the library and they
will be using Omni Page. The software has been set-up and I've put a few
of the files through DBT 10.6. I'm noticing that the paragraphs are not
always indented correctly. I do realize that the braille document will
only be as good as the cleaned-up scan. Files that I've worked with
either have a <para> code or a <b-bodytext.> Is there a difference and
what should be done in the Word document to insure that paragraphing works
correctly. I would assume that the >para> code works best? I'd like to
get the group started in the right direction.
Thanks for any help that anyone can provide.
