With focus in the table, press Alt + J, L, V. If you have focus in the table, you should see the two table sub-Ribbons on the far right of the tabs for Ribbons. You are looking for the Layout Ribbon. Convert to text is on the far right of the table Layout Ribbon.

Are you getting that? From there, you might want to go to the Table menu, select Convert and choose Convert table to text. Then you can choose to have each cell separated by a tab, with a punctuation mark, or with a hard carriage return. Depending on what your data is, if you import a Word table directly into DBT, you should get automatic stairstep formatting. BTW, just save as a Word doc without any of the fancy things. Hope this helps.

I've tried pasting into word, saving as word doc and opening in Duxbury. The formatting and even the Braille translation was pretty close to the weirdest thing I've ever seen. I tried saving as text comma delimited and open in duxbury. Still a mess. I tried saving as html, and got nothing but code of every kind. What a mess! I'm using office 2007 and Duxbury 10.7.
