Teresa, Put your cursor at the point where you want the bold/italics/underline to begin. Press CTRL-Left Bracket. A dialog comes up asking you for the code and its parameters. Type fts~b (start bold) or fts~i (start italics) or fts~u (start underline.) Now take your cursor to the place where you want the bold/italics/underlining to end. Press CTRL-Left Bracket, and type in fte~b, fte~i, or fte~u. (All these codes are in the code list that comes up when you press F5.) Clear as mud?

I don't see a code on the code list so I usually type the text that I am translating and then go and add the italics or bold face code on the braille translation before I emboss it. But it would be better if I was able to add it to the print text before translating. So if someone knows how, I would love to hear from them. Thanks Theresa Parks
