Thanks for replying Neal, but I'm more confused now than ever. I usually open a Spanish word document in Duxbury with the English (American) Standard Literary Format template. Our documents often contain English, so I highlight the Spanish text and apply the Spanish style, which I though uncontracts it.. Is this correct? How do I know what translation table I'm using. Thanks again, Tom Neal Kuniansky <Neal@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: Hi Tom: When you apply a Spanish style in DBT, you will get Spanish as the authority of the translation table you are using says it should be done. so if you are using a BRITISH ENGLISH TRANSLATION TABLE, the Spanish will be according to BAUK. If you are choosing a BANA ENGLISH Translation table then you would get Spanish according to BANA. and so it goes. For more information in DBT WIN 10.5 you can go to HELP>HELP TOPICS>LANGUAGE TRANSLATION TABLES, then look up the language of the translation table you are using. Pay particular attention to the SECONDAY LANGUAGE SUPPORT section. Hope this helps, Neal __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
