Hi Tom,
 
I'll chip in here.  When you start a document, you will
usually have selected a Template, such as you mention below.
 
If you then go to DBT's Document menu, and select
Translation Tables, one of the list will be ticked.  In this
case it will be "English/American".
 
This being the case, when you apply DBT's Spanish Style to a
word or phrase, it will apply Spanish Rules per BANA.
 
George.

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

        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
