Good morning,
I use Document>Learning Tables for the type of task you are describing. For
UEB, the S.A. Syllabus level 1.2 should work for you, or the NLS I.M.B.T.
Lesson 4.3 for EBAE [NOTE: with EBAE, the Document>Translation Table must be
English/American for the Document>Language Tables to be available.]
I often use the online help over what is in my program. Here is a link to the
listing of what each learning table will translate in the program
http://www.duxburysystems.com/documentation/dbt11.3/the_menus/menu_document/document_learning_tables.htm
Alternatively, in DBT, Help (F1)>The Menus>Document>Learning Tables.
Take care,
Stacy

Hello,
I have searched through the help for contraction tables and I can't find
anything. Is it under language tables, templates or what?
Sorry, the help for DBT is giant and I don't think like the documentation
writers.
Thank you,

All the contraction rules are in tables that are not user-editable. But, as has
already been pointed out, there are pre-defined partial contraction tables,
designed for the purpose of learning braille by various organizations, included
with DBT.
To display the codes that are in your documents, press Alt-F3.
To bring down a long list of possible codes, which can be selected by first
character, press F5.
Learn more about the various contraction tables in the help system.

Hello,
How does one read and edit codes by hand? So rather than pressing f1, I press
[g1]?
That is really odd there is no way to edit the translation dictionary. Can one
create their own translation dictionary?
What is the code list? There is a force contraction code...
This would become too tedious, I would rather just have a set list of
contractions that I can add or remove based on where the student is at.
Thanks,

Brandon,
There are shortcuts for specifying specific words to be translated into “grade
2” braille.
At the beginning of the DXP file, press alt-1. When you come to a word you want
to contract, press alt-2 and write the word out. Immediately after that word
(or words) press alt-1 again and continue until the next contracted word comes
up. Again press alt-2 before and alt-1 after. When you translate the document
into braille, you’ll see the contracted words you specified. If you have the
coded view on, you’ll see them the same as if you had gone to the codes list
and put in the codes you wanted.
I hope that made sense. If you have questions, you can always write back to me
and I’ll try to answer them.
