Format Hyperlinks

Note.  As DBT 10.6 and later now correctly translates Hyperlinks in a Word document, this command should no longer be needed.  However, the feature is being kept available for the time being.

This command will modify the font of any text in the document where the style is set to “Hyperlink”. This will allow the Duxbury Braille Translator to correctly format the output of a Hyperlink using Computer Braille Code (CBC).

When the “Format Hyperlinks” command is run a warning message is displayed. Select “No” if you do not wish to modify the document.

Selecting “Yes” will cause the font of any Hyperlink to be changed to “Courier”. The Hyperlink is still valid and its colour, point size, and underlining are not affected.

For this change to have the desired affect you need to tell the Duxbury Braille Translator to convert Courier text to CBC, as follows.

  1. In DBT, select the “Global” menu.
  2. Select “Word Importer”.
  3. Make sure that  “Transcribe Courier to CBC” is checked.
  4. Now press the “OK” button. The setting will be saved for future use.
