Thanks Kathy, It sounds like a good idea, but could you be more specific on how to use the braille template in word. The only templates I'm familiar with are the ones I use to open a file in Duxbury, such as, literary braille or textbook format. I've often wondered how I could just highlight a column. The document was created in word with semi-colons as separators.

In the past I would just highlight the Spanish words and apply the Spanish style. It will not be feasible to do so in this book, as it is 300 pages long. So my question is, if I apply the Spanish style to the whole document will the English text be converted to Grade 1 braille?
