I don't know whether this has been fixed in DBT 10.5, but in earlier versions, if you imported text using the formatted text importer, it would lose characters beyond a certain line length, perhaps 255 characters. Many text files are what WordPerfect called "generic word-processor format" where each paragraph was a long line. When I suspect that this is going to happen to my text file, I import it into WP (Word would also work) and save it into that program's file format. These word processors don't lose characters, even if a "line" is thousands of characters long.

Hi List Members,

Please can you help me? I am trying to emboss quite a long document, which is a text document. I have embossed a text document before by importing the document into Duxbury using the British no capitals in literary template and there were no problems, it was all there and it followed the structure of the document. However, I have imported this other longer document in exactly the same way, and there were bits that were missed out in the version that had opened in duxbury, but were there in the text only file. Is there a reason for this? Is there anything that I need to do to prevent this from happening again?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Karina
