Londa, I sure agree with you. If the documents I get for transcription were
okay to start with I could get them done in record time. But often, they're
done incorrectly or not using the styles and so forth that are available in
Word and they are a mess when I get them. I often tell those who work with
me that they have no real idea what we go through to get the documents
embossed in some sort of order.

Actually, the big problem for many of us is that we get documents which
someone else has created. Most of the time they aren't created well, so
then we have to use dbt to fix all the problems. It's either that or put
in and/or change style codes in word. I feel funny about playing with
someone else's word document that way. Just to throw another dilemma into
the picture.

There's certainly a lot to be said for doing that, especially when you
consider the power of a word processor. My own dilemma is figuring out
when it makes sense to use the word processor and when I should be tweaking
things in DBTW. Sometimes the importer does very well, but at other times
I simply have to work in DBT to get the results I want. That said, I'm all
for making things as easy and painless as possible.
