Betsey,
In word there is a way to use wild cards in the search and replace
dialogue to replace the underscores with whatever will generate the
desired output. You can even replace them with the phrase "space
provided" or even "blank" but I will need to look up that hint
Wednesday.
Merci!

Dean,
We see this often. Change the underscores in your original document to
hyphens, or wait until you get the file into DBT and use the find and
replace to replace each 4 or 5 underscores with a hyphen. You'll
probably have to do some cleanup if you have stray hyphens around, but
it's the only way I know to solve it.
It's not a DBT change. Another thing that I've seen popping up a lot is
people using the period instead of a dash to separate parts of a phone
number. Just a headsup.

DbT uses to show blanks in forms or on answer sheets? It now

prefer dots
36. Can this change be made?
Thanks.
