Catherine, DBT recognizes and keeps Word's nonbreaking spaces, which is Ctrl-Shift-Spacebar. Note that when you open the file in Word, multiple soft spaces (pressing the spacebar as usual) and nonbreaking spaces both appear as multiple spaces in print. When you translate the file, the multiple soft spaces become a single space (though they are still there if you Alt-F3), but the nonbreaking spaces remain intact. One thing to be aware on this, is that you must save the file and import it into DBT. If you copy and paste the file, the nonbreaking spaces are not honored when it is translated.

I hope this does not enter the area of a new feature, but I would dearly love a way to translate a document that was done via word processor leaving the spaces intact. In other words, the same way that we can choose to compress or not compress skipped lines, I would love to be able to choose ONLY SOMETIMES to show all countable spaces. * * * * This message is via list duxuser at freelists.org. * To unsubscribe, send a blank message with * unsubscribe * as the subject to <duxuser-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>.
