If you are already proficient on a Perkins, you can use direct entry (6 key
entry) to produce any Nemeth. Just "braille" on the computer page.

"SPATIAL MATH " is out of this world with DBT.
I would like to share one way I coach doing spatial math in DBT. It really
is so easy that it is like cheating.
3 3
+ 4 +4
----- 3333
7 7
In summary, USING DBT WIN you will create a blank print document and enter
everything but your math. Then translate to braille and enter your math
information directly utilizing the number pad!
1) CNTRL+N to open a new print document
2) Choose print document and press enter. You should now be in a blank
print file.
3) ALT+L to open the layout menu
4) M to open the math code menu
5) enter key, this will put you in "technical context". In English this
means you are working on a Nemeth document.
6) Type in all your text etc leaving some blank space for your math
problems. When finished.
7) Control+T to translate your print file into braille.
8) Put your NUM LOCK on. Then use the number keys, space bar, ENTER, and +
- * / (arithmetic function) keys to enter your math.
Hint #1 you will want to use the "3" key to get your dot 2,5 lines
Hint #2 if you go to VIEW and choose full page you get a better idea of the
layout of the math on the full page while you are keying it in.
Hint #3 you can use search and replace to replace multiplication and
division signs with dot product, cross product, line between dots division
sign as you please.
Also you may want to visit the yahoo groups archives for
"dux101t" and "dux101g" for short little questions and answers on many
topics DBT. These are old but still very useful.
Observe:
The translated line may not have translated back to print accurately. Don't
use the translated line as your only proofing tool.

Help! We are sighted so do not use JAWS but want very much to produce
elementary level math work sheets for our daughter. She and I can use
Nemeth on the Perkins but setting up math worksheets of addition,
subtraction and multiplication in the vertical formation is extremely time
consuming for me. Now that we have Duxbury and a Romeo embosser I am
seeking step by step instructions to produce the sheets. Your assistance
would be greatly appreciated.
