Hi Londa.

Assuming that the documents you have are electronic (Word file), I'd save these
as text only and either:
1) Reopen in a word processor, edit and then import in Duxbury
2) Or open the text only document directly in Duxbury and edit.

*If the document is anything such as a PDF, publisher or PowerPoint document,
I'd OCR the document, copy the 'scanned text' and edit in a word processor then
import into Duxbury.

Hope this helps.

Subject: [duxuser] Duxbury and text boxes

I have a document – several documents in fact – that are using text boxes
placed in three columns when a table would’ve really been better. I have
imported these into Duxbury, and I’m managing to get the job done, but it’s
really slow work. Short of reformatting the documents by hand, does anyone have
any ideas of how to do this. I am a JAWS user if that makes any difference.
