Hi Catherine,

Sorry, your message did say, "a hard copy document (on real paper)".  I 
obviously took you too literally.

I will see if we can get a copy of the Transcriber's Guide in Word of 
WordPerfect format up on the Web Page for you to download.  I did have a copy, 
but sadly it was swallowed up in an accidental re-format on our Server.

Meantime, until I can get out from underneath a pile of Help on DBT Codes 
authoring, and create Word Help files for you to braille when required, here's 
a suggestion which may be of Help.

In Help, go to the Topic you want a hard (braille) copy of.  Make sure you are 
focused in the topic.  Ctrl + a to select all.  Ctrl + c to copy.

You can now paste (Ctrl + v) into Word or DBT.

I've just done this with the DBT Styles Appendix.  In Word, it re-produces the 
Table, while in DBT, the results do appear to be quite readable.

I will add however, that while the above may not always be ideal, my ultimate 
aim is to be able to produce a set of Help files which contain an Emboss, as 
well as Print, option.
