I love using SWIFT!
It makes translation easier, especially for a visual user.
I especially need it for Spanish and Nemeth translation.

Hi Ginger,
I would just like to correct one small detail about SWIFT. It was in fact
originally developed by one of our British users, who was happy to make
available to all Duxbury users world-wide.
Eventually Duxbury took it over as new operating systems and versions of
Office came along and began making things above his current skill set.

For formatting paragraphs, numbering, outline, etc and underlining, bold,
and italics SWIFT is very helpful! I use to do all of it in Duxbury.but I
did not use codes at all. I just did everything 'manually', now I barely do
anything in Duxbury because with SWIFT in Word you can set it all up,
applying the correct 'instruction' from the ribbon menu.
I am so glad we have Duxbury to translate and emboss!!!

I prefer to simply 'import' a Word document by opening the Word document in
Duxbury, then simply choosing the learning or Translation tables as needed
by the end user.

I am curious if anyone uses SWIFT 5.2, an add-on for Word that sets your
document up to braille in Duxbury.without codes.
I have never used codes in Duxbury.I did not learn that way. SWIFT still
has made it easier/faster for me to format and emboss. I LOVE it. IF you
get a chance to get in on some training for SWIFT 5.2 (google Duxbury SWIFT
and the Duxbury link will take you to the page to download SWIFT 5.2). Susan
Christensen was our trainer here at Kansas State School for the Blind in the
United States. She was part of the creation of this add-on (I hate to speak
wrong and say she IS the creator, but I may be wrong saying she was part of
it).
Just info that may be helpful to you in the future.
