Hello all
Hoping someone can help me!
I've been given the task of producing resources in Braille for a student 
who is learning Spanish at our college. The text arrives in Spanish, in 
Word 98 and then I put it through Duxbury. I open Duxbury, find the 
file, and select British no caps.
When I translate (no translation codes), Duxbury reads the text 
correctly but with English contractions, and puts odd punctuation marks 
in for accented characters.
When I select the Spanish translation code, Duxbury puts odd 
punctuation marks in the middle of many of the words.
What am I doing wrong? I don't know any Spanish, and the Spanish 
teacher doesn't know Duxbury! The poor student doesn't know either, 
but she says that Spanish Braille is all in Grade 1.
Thanks in advance for any help that anyone can give me
