You'll have to do your grade 1 translation from the print file.  You can
not do it from a braille file without causing some braille anomalies.
It is not necessary to double space a grade 1 document.

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?
