Susan, thanks for taking the time to respond to my puzzlement.
Regards and thanks
Christine
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
