David, On the face of it, your procedure ought to work. I have, however,
run into difficulties coming directly from Word and then embossing. If
you need to do your original document in Word because it's going to be
printed for sighted people, I'd go ahead and do that. Then I'd copy and
paste my Word doc into a second Word doc, save it as plain text, and
bring it into Duxbury, where I would format the Duxbury print document
the way I want it. Then, and only at the last minute, I would translate
and emboss. I do all my work in the Duxbury print document (*.dxp). It
would be nice to have one "source document" for producing both Braille
and print, but in our experience here in Iowa, it's nigh on to
impossible.
If I have muddied more water than I have cleared, feel free to holler.
This list has a lot of really smart people on it.

On Behalf Of DAVID MOORE

Subject: [duxuser] Re: New user needs help
I am a new user as well. My name is David Moore, and I have just
installed DBT 10.5. I am using a Romeo Attache Pro, and I am having
trouble with printing. I always create my documents in Microsoft word.
I then open DBT. I then copy everything from the word document and
paste it into DBT. When I emboss the document, my braille printout does
not put the blank line at the top of the page like I have DBT set up to
do. Also, the biggest problem is that my embosser only brailles the
second half of my document. Why is my embosser only brailling the
second half of what I copy and paste from word? If anyone could help
me, I would be eternally grateful! Thank you in advance! God bless,
David
