Scott,
Check the codes in your DBTW file to see whether you're getting
bolding, underlining, italics, etc. Then check the font in your Word
files. The documents may have been produced in bold, etc.
Regarding the dots in the Table of Contents, you should let DBTW
generate the TOC based on the chapter headings. The TOC from the
Word documents is using periods for the dots instead of the DBT code
that generates them correctly, which accounts for the huge
runover. By the way, you may have to apply a heading style to the
chapter titles, either in the Word documents, or in the DBTW file
itself to get the TOC to work correctly.

Hello there list,
I am having a problem transcribing a home owner book which I need to
get at least in to a .brf file. The first things I notice is when I
import it from Word in to DBt 10.5 the translator seems to think
that I have bold and something else on. It is dots 4-5-6. I think
this is an indicator. I would like to remove this. Secondly, the
actual file came from Quark Express and I then had it imported to a
pdf which I then took and made .doc files out of. The problem I see
is that the Table of Contents is not formatting properly. It is
carying the dopt 5 which indicates the line for the page number over
way too many lines.
I think I counted that being three lines. Is there anything I can
do about this? Thanks for the help.
