Hi Terry,
 
In an ideal world, perhaps.  But right now, it's hard enough
just figuring out the inner workings of a Word file.
 
However, there is some possible cause for optimism now that
there is a definite move towards XML file format, especially
with Office 2007.
 
At least with XML, it should be easy enough to identify the
text content.
 
George.

the real question in this modern age of stable platforms is
why can't we import directly not only from PowerPoint but
excel as well. This question is flippant however producing
Braille is important to those of us who use it we are
already faced with difficulties however saving files
importing files and cleaning them up seems to me to be a
vary impractical way to handle this especially considering
the power of Duxbury already.
Personally I don't have the time at work to save retrieve
let alone make the necessary changes required however I do
need the documents for both PowerPoint and excel.

I haven't tried importing straight to Duxbury, but I often
cut and paste the text into word first, section by section,
sometimes the text is in a text box so I make sure I select
the text inside the text box, and not the whole text box.
