issue. The text areas are properly re-ordered in plain text mode, but that
causes the loss of formatting in the exported file. I’m continuing to
look for creative ways of dealing with this issue.</span></p>

automatically formats page numbers as page number fields (with the page number
field code) if you’re saving a word file in formatted text mode. I’m
wondering if I can find a way of either moving these fields automatically or
maybe applying DAISY styles to them directly.</span></p>

important improvement in terms of our DAISY production. However, the new
version is not all improvements. I have some concerns with the way the new
ADART II layout system is treating page numbers as header or footer text boxes.
Another strange problem is that the editor seems to ignore re-ordered
areas in formatted text mode now. (making it more difficult to move page
numbers, and retain styles at the same time.)<<br>
<br>
So how do you get around the re-ordering issue? We've just now upgraded
to 10 and have already run into this problem. <br>
