1. Which version of DBT are you using at home and which version of
DBT are you using at work?
2. Was the original file created in a word processor or was it
created by using an older version of Duxbury with the use of duxbury
codes?
3. How did you import the original file into DBT?
Sincerely:
Dave Durber
