Hi Bill,
Hope it helps.
BTW, while you can edit the braille document to add blank lines, I
generally advise using the pre-translated one.
This is more something I discipline myself to do, since, if you have
things like tables of contents, it acts as a reminder for me to
rebuild them, even if it's only 1 in a dozen or more documents that do
have a TOC in.
George.
