Hi Robert, I've only been using Duxbury 10.5 since December of last year. I
know that if you want things in grade 1 you need to use the code g1 then the
code tx (these are in the square brackets. This should make the whole
document appear in grade 1, I tend to use these codes when doing web
addresses and to turn the braille back into grade 2 I use g2 and then tx.

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.

Generally speaking, you aren't learning much when your mouth is moving.
