Hi Dave,
You are quite right about the order of codes being important. Pity there
were not better guidelines.
With the explanations I'm currently writing for the Help files, I am
testing with examples. In the case quoted, it did work in the order I
gave, even it that was not ideal order.
What I find more important is actual placement in the text, usually
whether it is before or after a page break.
George.

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
