Thank you, thank you Kathy!
I have come across this problem quite often and had a hard time sorting it out.
Now, with your great advice I'll be able to fix it in Word before importing
into DBT.
Perhaps George could add this to the Help File in DBT - then we could all learn
from it.
Thanks again,
Pamela,
Toronto, Canada

Subject: [duxuser] Hyperlinks
This may be of interest. I don't know if anyone else has reported this before.
I received a Word file from a teacher where she had cut and pasted material
from a website. The file looked perfectly normal, so I sorted out the
formatting in Word, imported it into DBT, translated and checked it through.
I found a number of web links embedded in the braille which did not appear in
the Word document, and were not wanted.
Investigation led me to use alt-F9 in Word, which then showed a number of
hyperlink entries which were obviously coming through into DBT.
Further investigation on how to remove these I found that by selecting ALL in
Word, then pressing ctrl-shift-F9, all hyperlink references were removed and
everything was OK when translated in DBT.
Thus my observation is:
If you find computer material in a braille file which you don't necessarily
want, check the original Word document for hyperlinks (toggle alt-F9), and if
you wish to remove these, select the document (or section) and press
ctrl-shift-F9.
