[nabs-l] Foreign Languages and Duxbury

Hi all,

I'm wondering if someone can help me by giving specific directions for
creating documents in foreign languages through Duxbury.  I am taking
French and Italian this year, and my university is willing to emboss
my quizzes and tests as well as any other documents I need.  But I
need to tell them how to do this in the best way.

I understand that there is a textbook setting in Duxbury that will
allow you to import documents from Microsoft Word that have both
English and another language in them.  I should be able to get these
documents converted into Braille through Duxbury and see both the
languages-English in grade 2 and the foreign language in grade 1 with
the correct accent signs.  But there must be something I'm missing
because when we select the textbook setting (not the math one of
course), I am still seeing French in English grade 2.  :)

Sorry for the lack of exact descriptors; I do not have Duxbury on my
computer at this time but plan to have it soon.

Thanks all.
