SWIFT - Style Map

 

It should be noted that SWIFT is installed "locally" under your own user name. That is to say that anyone else logging on will not see any changes you make here.

One of the main purpose of SWIFT's Style Map is to show Word users what Word Styles are "mapped" to DBT Styles. Or equally more important, what is NOT mapped.

Any Word Style which is not mapped, will simply be brought into DBT as left aligned text unless you select a DBT Style to "map" it to.

(The screen shot below is from an actual document where customized Word Styles have been used)

Target DBT Template - (Drop down list):

This is a drop down list which displays all available DBT Templates. Your first task should be to select an appropriate Template for the document you wish produced in braille.

Saves any changes you have made to your DBT Template.

Revert - (Button):

Reverts any changes made back to the default settings.

Import - (Button):

Allows you to import a Template from another user or system.

Export - (Button):
