Hi Gary,
Good question. So let's hope I'm not teaching granny to
suck eggs here, but it may help others.
When you open the .dxp file, go into Coded View.
This is done by holding down the Alt key, and tapping the F3
key. This is what's called a "toggle" function, so
repeating the keystrokes will return you to normal view.
This is the same as going into DBT's View Menu and selecting
Codes.
Now all being well, the second line down this file will show
you an [rfs] Code at the start, and then the text "Your name
or company" and end with the Code [rfe].
The [rfs] and [rfe] codes tell the text in between them that
this is a Footer which is to appear on all pages.
To make you own Footer, simply change the text between these
Codes.
However, there are some considerations.
First, your page is 31 characters wide, and there is a
default setting of 8 cells of what is called "Side Room" on
either side of the Footer in braille. So normally you would
only get 15 braille characters.
So what is "Side Room" anyway? It is simply the space that
is allowed for page numbering.
But if you look at the first line of the file, you will see
an [svrfs4:4] Code, which in effect says, "make the Side
room" only 4 characters on each side, and so allows us to
have a Footer line of up to 23 braille characters.
I think I'm also right in saying that both Footers and
Headers, cannot occupy more than 2 lines, so bear that in
mind.
And of course that will mean you have more than the 9 lines
I designed the document to be.
All the best,
George.

Hi George,
Nice job on the calendar. I have a question. I am not a
dbt power user. I
see that you have a footer on the bottom of the page. How
can I change that
to reflect my information? I am using dbt 10.5 windows xp
home sr2.
Thanks,

Hi all,
With a new year rapidly approaching, I thought I'd share my
efforts at producing a 2008 calendar.
You will probably need to do some modification to it
locally, and certainly for American English, you'll need to
copy and paste the contents of the .dxp file into a new
document using your local template.
I have the Document: Embosser setup set to 31 characters per
line, and 9 lines per page, which when trimmed down, results
in a neat almost pocket sized book.
There are a few interesting Codes in the document, and I
think it's a reasonable example of setting tabs or columns
up.
I hope I've got the dates in the right columns, but please
don't hit me if I've made any mistakes.
Any questions, just ask.
George.
