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.
