Here's what I think I'd do if I were you. I'd copy the file or files
that make up the book and put them in a new Duxbury document. Put in the
codes to make Grade 1 and save it that way so you can repeat this if
necessary.
I don't think it needs to be double-spaced unless they specifically
request it. I will have to stick my neck out here and say that anybody
who can read a book that's five volumes long ought to be reading with
contractions. But then, what do I know? (smile)

Subject: [duxuser] conversion of book from Grade 2 to Grade 1
I am with a volunteer group that brailles books for children as gifts.
We are all sighted.
We have a book already done in Grade 2 braille and now someone has
requested that they receive a copy of the book done in Grade 1 braille.
How do I convert the file from Grade 2 to Grade 1? This particular book
happens to be 5 Grade 2 volumes in length. I know that the amount of
pages will change and the title sheets will have to reflect that.
Also, is it necessary to do Grade 1 double line spaced or is that only
done if requested by the person receiving the braille book?
