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.
