Actually in word you can. I just don't because I found that for some reason the formatting was lousy! It was much better saving the document and then opening up duxberry.

Okay, I don't have Duxbury on this particular machine, but I do on another,
so I'll do my best to direct you from memory. First of all, you have to be
in Duxbury to translate and emboss the document. You can't do it (that I
know of at least) from within another program like Word or Wordpad). You
can emboss the document either of two ways. 1: From within whatever word
processing program you used to write the document, and with the document
currently open, press control+a to select it and then control+c to copy it
to the clipboard. Then open Duxbury and press control+v to paste the
document into Duxbury. Then you can press control+T to translate it and
then control+e to emboss it. Of course you have to already have done the
initial set-up with Duxbury and the embosser so it knows which embosser and
embosser settings you want to use.
The second way to get the document open, translated, and embossed (and this
is a better way if you need to preserve all formatting from your original
document) is to open Duxbury, then hit control+o to bring up the "file open
dialog box," choose your document from whatever folder it's in, and then
press the control+t and control+e to translate and emboss. Hope that helps!
