MessageI think all you have to do is load the DXB file in DBT, then, back
translate by pressing control t. Then, press alt 2 for grade 2 Braille, and
press control t to retranslate.

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)

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?
