If you open a Word document containing a table in DBT, or even create a table,
within DBT before you translate, you can click anywhere inside the Table and
select Table: Properties. Where you can change how the table will be formatted
in braille.
For example, you might have a table which has few columns, but a lot of text in
each column. Sometimes this is best in Stairstep format.
It's sometime helpful to see what each looks like, since quite often tables are
the same layout in print.

Hi Tasha,
Have you experimented with Table: Properties yet?
I often do, to see if there is a better looking or space saving alternative to
what the "e-brain" decided. (Smile)

Subject: [duxuser] Fun with BANA templates
Greetings all,
Do not know if this has been posted in the forum. I have only been transcribing
for a couple years and am still working on my certification, and I am self
taught in the Duxbury 11.3.
However, I am continually make a lot of my discoveries 'by mistake' (Kinda of
like a scientist) of the powerful tools in the new BANA template.
The most recent discovery is that when I create a table in Word, using the
provided BANA template from Duxbury, and then open it in Duxbury and hit Ctrl+T
for translate, it formats the table as needed!!
Either in columnar format with guide dots and everything:)
Or I had one the other day that was to wide and Duxbury automatically put it in
List format:)
I love me electronics.
