Hi all,
 
I may be about to throw myself and Duxbury to the wolves
here, but try and be gentle with us/me.  This is also
largely untested by myself, so take care.
 
It appears that it is now possible to enter DBT Codes into a
Word file, in such a way that the Code will be imported into
DBT 10.5.  Try this simple text for starters.
 
Remember to do this in Word.
 
1) Type two lines of text, such as a mailing address.
 
2) Move your cursor to the end of the first line.
 
3) Go the Word's Insert Menu and Select "Comment", which
will bring up the comment box.
 
4) Type the following, exactly as shown below
 
dbt:code:sk5
 
(That is d b t colon c o d e colon s k 5)
 
5) Immediately after typing the 5, press the escape key,
which will return you to the main text.
 
6) Save the file.
 
7) Open the above Word file in DBT.
 
All being well, you will see it has skipped 5 lines between
the first and second lines.
 
George.
