Jean,
It's easier to use DBT's BANA template as the base and make changes to it.
You really don't want to get into mapping the styles between Word and DBT
unless absolutely necessary. If you do go the new mapping route, you need to
save the mapping file to a new name so it doesn't create a conflict if you
go back and use the BANA template.
This should get you started:
1) create a new DBT document using the BANA template
2) change the translation table by going to Document, Translation Tables and
select English/Unified
3) make any other appropriate changes as necessary ... I'm not familiar
enough with the rules to know what that will be, but could be page
numbering, some style formatting, etc.
4) create a new template by going to Document, Create Template: type in a
new name, check "Use customized Word style map", and use the bana option
(that's specifying the mapping file). You also have the option of setting
the template as the default. When you are done, select OK.
I believe Australia has modified the BANA template for UEB ... they can
likely offer further assistance.
Good luck.
Susan

Subject: [duxuser] Word template with UEB
I am very comfortable using the Word Bana template in Word to create my
braille documents. Documents created using this template must be imported
with the English American Textbook de Bana template. I have created a
matching template so I can create literary braille through this same method
by modifying the textbook Bana template for the different page number
formats, etc.
But I'm wondering how I might create a new Word template based on the
existing template, and/or map it to a new Duxbury template in order to
create English UEB braille. I want to retain the Bana textbook layout, but
be able to translate the braille with UEB rules. Can I associate a different
braille table with a new DBT template? In other words, base a new template
on English American Textbook de Bana but use the UEB translation? Or maybe
go from the other angle and create a new template based on English UEB and
remap the Word Bana template styles?
Ideas welcome please.
Jean
