Hi Barb, Do you have Word installed yourself? Essentially I suspect your problems almost certainly resolve around what Styles have been used in Word. DBT maps Word Styles to DBT Styles using a file in DBT called "dbt.mws". You can find out a little more about this file in the Help system under Styles - Editing the ".mws" file. Unfortunately, without seeing the actual Word file(s), it is very difficult to second guess exactly what has happened, but you are welcome to send an an example to me at HYPERLINK "mailto:george@xxxxxxxxxx"george@xxxxxxxxxx and I'll do my best to work out what's wrong.

I use Duxbury 10.4 Our volunteer group does books for children (free). I have someone who transcribes in Word. She does not have Duxbury. She sends me a disk and I open it up with Duxbury. I have a number of problems that have occurred over time. 1. The Title page looks correct in Word but when I open it in Duxbury it always starts in cell 3 (showing paragraph). When I look at the document that she sends me it shows skipped lines but in Duxbury it doesn't have the skipped line. 2. The most recent file I received had a larger issue I had to correct. Somehow she changed something in her Word file and the codes changed from [es~para.] to [hl1] I had to go in an individually change each one to a new paragraph starting in cell 3. I tried to use search and replace in my Duxbury print file but I got a message "Are you sure you want to delete the selected text and replace it with the code you've just chosen?" If I said yes it would delete the whole area. Any ideas how to fix these problems? Barb --- Incoming mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).
