Christine Try using the Formatted Text, Windows ANSI (*.prf) option. This will then open in Word However you will get a carriage return at the end of each print line. There is not really easy solution to this one that I can see.

I am using DBT10.6 and Microsoft Word. I have a large BRF file. I need a portion of it in print as a microsoft word file. I have opened DBT, Have opened my BRF file which has opened into a DXB file. Next I have cut and pasted the required paragraphs out of that file and into a new DXB file. I then translated the new DXB file using CTRL-T and got a properly formatted DXP file. I now need to save this in such a way that it can be read by Microsoft Word. I have looked at the Save As options but am not sure what (if any) of these I should be using. I have also tried to cut and paste the DXP file into a blank word file but the result requires considerable cleaning up and is not appropriate unless there is no other way. any help will be appreciated- I'm certain there must be a more satisfactory way of doing this but I cannot work it out.
