Susie:
How does one go about getting rid of all that junk? I get Word documents all
the time that have bolded, italisized, or underlined text in them. Any
suggestions would be helpful.
Thanks
Don

If there is underlining, when you reveal codes in DBT, you should see
something like [fts~u] and [fte~u]. Looking at the codes should solve
many mysteries about this document. Often people who do Word documents
"pretty them up" with all kinds of eye candy that doesn't need to be
there for Braille-reading purposes. In general I take all that stuff
out, I don't care what it is. Seek and destroy all eye candy!

The dots 4,5,6 is an underling indicator.

Subject: [duxuser] trouble with transcribing book
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.
