Hullo,
   Just started using DBT Win 10.5.  At this point I want to do some simple
tasks while learning the program.  Here is what I want to do and cant seem
to make it happen.

   Over the years I have collected recipes in MS Word.  Nothing fancy, just
large print so I can read them.  Now its time to move to braille.  What I am
trying to figure out is just how to import into DBT and translate the
recipes.  Well I can do that.  In Word the ingredient lists and the cooking
directions are left justified.  When I preview the file in braille tho, the
lists are indented 3 cells.

   I dont need to do lots of recipes at one time, usually on a need basis
so I could do the formatting manually as I go along.  Whats the ideal
procedure?  Import and translate a Word file then edit the braille version?
Would a template work 100%?  There are variations in many recipes.  Thanks.

By the way, I want to use Grade 1. This would be so much easier than proofing all my recipes. Reason? 1 C flour in Grade 2 would come out as 1 can flour.
