Hi DeAnna,
First, are you trying to install Duxbury Version 11.1, or an older
version? For Office 2010, it really needs to be 11.1, and if not, you
won't be able to open Word files with a .docx (doc x) extension.
They would have to be saved as Word 2003 (.doc) format.
SWIFT is an optional utility which adds a module in to Word for
Windows to enable you to run Duxbury from inside Word. So yes, it is
useful to let DBT install it. The other two questions asked are
whether or not to install the BANA Template, so if you use American
Braille rules, the answer there is usually yes. (I can explain what
that does later) Finally it will ask if you want to install French
Templates. Not needed unless you are in France.
If you answer "No" to any of these, I suggest you also check the box
in the dialog about not showing this message again.
As a Duxbury dealer, I'm happy to help where I can, but perhaps it
might be worth joining the duxuser list where there are many skilled
users world-wide only too willing to help. It's not a heavy traffic
list, so it won't fill up your mailbox.

Subject: [VICUG-L] Duxbury question
This spring, my office went through a computer upgrade. I was out on
vacation and when I returned, none of my assistive tech worked because
it was all set to work with Office 2003 and Windows XP. Now I have
windows 7 and office 2010. Slowly I have been fighting my way back
with of course upgrading all of my specialized software. JAWS, Open
Book and now Duxbury all needed upgrades to work. When installing
Duxbury, it wanted to know if I wanted some templates installed. Do I
need them? Something called Swift and I don't remember the other one.
I tried to emboss the September agency calendar and it put a header of
September 2nd at the top of each page then entered each date with the
activities for that date underneath, putting each of these dates on a
separate page. Will I need to remove those headers and remove page
breaks to get this to not waste half a page on each sheet? Not being a
tech type person, I find the learning curve really tough and want to
stamp my foot and wail! Don't fix it if it isn't broken! I do
understand though that those decisions are out of my hands if I am to
remain competitive in the job market. Thanks for your help oh wise
computer sorceresses and wizards! DeA
