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.
   
  Thanks again,
  Tom

speed things up for you
  If you are Using the Braille Template, in Word
  Why don't you start by producing the Word document in a table:
  Column 1: Word 
  Column 2: Meaning
   
  You can then highlight Column 1 and set to Spanish, leave Column 2 English, 
or vice versa
  Following this, convert table to text with a colon as the separator
  Voila: Spanish and English with minimum fuss
  Occasional words in the meaning section, will have to be changed manually.

Subject: [duxuser] Spanish Translation

   
    Hello list, I an translating a book, which is basically a Spanish to 
English and a English to Spanish dictionary on medical, legal, and slang terms. 
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? 

     

    Thanks in advance,
