Hello George:
Your descriptions of the three commands were excellent. I think that
the problems lie in the order in which they are used.
When I am typing a file from scratch into DBT's print text editor,
which is where I prepare all my files before transcribing them into
the output braille file, I always type them as follows:
1. I always type the [svpnpn:n:n] command with any of its various
parameters as the first command in any file.
2. The second command that I always type is either the [pnta] code to
specify arabic page numbering or the [pntr] code to specify roman page
numbering.
3. The last command that I type is the [pvn] code to set the page
number at which I want the page numbering to start and continue.
4. When I import a file, for example, from word or another source,
into DBT's print editor, I first switch on Reveal Codes by pressing
<ALT+F3>. I then press the <UP ARROW> once or twice to make sure that
I am on the line where the initial codes of the file are. I then
press the <HOME> key to place the application cursor at the beginning
of the first code in the file. At that point I type the codes in the
order set out in steps 1, 2, 3.
These commands superceed the settings that you set in the Document
Menu, Page numbering...
As I have said before, "it is not the use of commands (particularly
format commands) that cause the problem, it is the order in which you
use them".
I hope that the above information will not only be of help to you but
will solve your page numbering problems.
Sincerely:
Dave Durber
