Christine,

The B-BodyText. style is in the English (American Textbook DE)- BANA 
template. If you are opening a Word file in DBT and getting this, it 
indicates you are using that template, not the regular Textbook or 
Literary templates. If the Word document has used the Body Text style 
appropriately for paragraphing, you should get correct paragraphing in 
DBT also. In Word, the Body Text style is a default style, but it is 
also used in Word's braille template. The standard Textbook and Literary 
templates map this to the the para. style, where the BANA template maps 
it to the B-BodyText. style.

You should not be able to get the B-BodyText. style in DBT by using any 
other template other than BANA. If you want to send me your Word and 
.dxp file offlist, I'll take a look at them and see if we can get this 
figured out for you.

Now that I have MS Word files opening properly in DBT, I am experiencing 
another puzzling problem.

Whenever I import a word file, Duxbury treats the paragraphs in an odd way.

Instead of placing {para.} and {/para.} around the paragraph of text it 
itserts the code {b-bodytext.} and {/b-bodytext.} instead.

This then means that all the text is presented as a single block. The 
only way I can get a sensible file is upon opening the word file in DBT 
I then must do a search and replace on the b-bodytext style codes and 
replace them with es~para. and es~/para. codes.

It makes no difference which DBT template I use, always the result is 
the same.

Hope someone here also has a quick and easy answer.

I am using Windows XP Pro, Office 2003, DBT10.5 and JFW6. When I ran the 
same downloaded version of DBT under Windows 98, I did not experience 
this problem.

Many thanks

Christine
