I set up DBT's Word importer to "preserve skipped lines", make sure that the Word document uses skipped lines only at paragraph changes, use no intenting in Word, and then when it's into DBT, I first search and replace ALL instances of [es~para.] and [ee~para.] with [l], then replace ALL instances of [<] with [p]. That covers it quite quickly. Anybody else have other techniques?

I am not using a template in word either. I can cut and paste into Duxbury and things are fine but not otherwise. Any solutions other than templates? thank you!
