Hi Maureen,
Do you have a budget for training or attending conferences?
That said, I am still working on "Working with Word".

Tasha I am with you!!! I have worked for 7 years with all the tech for the
blind and it is 95 percent trial and error....and lots of distress emails to
Susan and George. So inefficient.

I get great answers from you and Susan,
However, I still am 'self taught' , and mostly learn by trial and error which
is very time consuming (and at times frustrating)
I am wondering if there is a class or seminar offered on 'tutoring in DBT and
BANA template'?
Thanks,
Tashya

If you open a Word document containing a table in DBT, or even create a table,
within DBT before you translate, you can click anywhere inside the Table and
select Table: Properties. Where you can change how the table will be formatted
in braille.
For example, you might have a table which has few columns, but a lot of text in
each column. Sometimes this is best in Stairstep format.
It's sometime helpful to see what each looks like, since quite often tables are
the same layout in print.

Hi Tasha,
Have you experimented with Table: Properties yet?
I often do, to see if there is a better looking or space saving alternative to
what the "e-brain" decided. (Smile)

Subject: [duxuser] Fun with BANA templates
Greetings all,
Do not know if this has been posted in the forum. I have only been transcribing
for a couple years and am still working on my certification, and I am self
taught in the Duxbury 11.3.
However, I am continually make a lot of my discoveries 'by mistake' (Kinda of
like a scientist) of the powerful tools in the new BANA template.
The most recent discovery is that when I create a table in Word, using the
provided BANA template from Duxbury, and then open it in Duxbury and hit Ctrl+T
for translate, it formats the table as needed!!
Either in columnar format with guide dots and everything:)
Or I had one the other day that was to wide and Duxbury automatically put it in
List format:)
I love me electronics.
