Hi George:
When you think about it though George, logic should play a certain
part in how codes are entered.
This is true, especially if you try to search for a string of commands
but, you entered the sequence of commands in a different order at the
various points in a document.
The problem is even more compounded if you find a mistake in one or
two of the commands in a sequence and you want to correct them with a
Search and Replace function.
Of course, there is the ultimate problem that if you do not type the
commands in the correct order, DBT won't perform the desired action
and therefore will not produce the desired result in the output file.
