To change the grade of braille for a passage, use the Layout menu >
Translation Codes > either contracted or uncontracted. Change it again
through this menu to have the rest in a different grade.
Another method that may work when contractions are being introduced
gradually is to have the whole document in a state that is neither
fully uncontracted nor fully contracted. To explore this, through the
Document menu, select Translation Tables and choose the
contraction-learning method that the student is using.

I hope this is the correct audience for my Duxbury question.
In reading through George's Braille Calendar instructions, I noticed
directions for viewing and inserting codes.
Along these lines, as our students learn braille and move slowly on to
contractions, is there a way for our teachers to insert a newly learned
contraction into a page of Grade 1 braille when they are producing student
tailored braille reading passages ? Is it as simple as highlighting and
telling DBT to produce only highlighted text in Grade 2 braille while
non-highlighted text stays in Grade 1?
Enthusiastically hopeful,
Kathy
