Steve,
I will begin by stating a disclaimer: I may be incorrect. I believe the errors
you speak of are just indicating that your parameters for your embosser are
set differently from those specified (used) when the *.BRF file was created.
Since I am in the midst of re-installing my software, I cannot say with 100%
accuracy, but I believe none of your text will be missing. The parameters
specified for your embosser will be used, overriding the *.BRF configuration.
I have found that specifying the local settings for *.BRF files within the
dialog box when doing a Save As, works best.
If I were you, I would emboss, lets' say, 2 pages and look at the results. If
you are using a refreshable braille display, your text will come out fine.
HTH
