<DIV>Hi,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>You will need to do a lot of formatting in order to code the book in
Duxbury. However, after translating, bring up the save as dialogue box. Under
files of type, there is a choice that says something like formatted braille, USA
encoding *.brf. This is probably what you want to select. I down arrowed to
reach it. I am using DTB 11. So the important thing to listen for is the BRF
part should you have a different version. I will also suggest that you check on
bookshare.org since they have many books already in the BRF format. I know
students get free accounts and that many schools have accounts with them. If so,
what I do when brailling is to open the file in WordPad, select all, copy it,
and then paste it in a Braille document in Duxbury. I do it this way because if
I just open it in Duxbury, it claims it cannot all fit on the page or something
like that. Good luck. Anita</DIV>

question Hi:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>II am blind and teach students who are blind and
visually impaired. I have a book that is appropriate for my blind student
in regular computer text. If I translate each chapter with duxbury how can I
save the file to be a brf file to be able to transfer the file into my note
taker so that my blind student can practice using a Braille display to read a
book in contracted Braille? Thanks for any advice.</FONT></DIV>
