Hi Fina.  When you reprinted the document formatted for the Juliet on the
Versapoint, did you change the embosser selection in the global menu?  I
have also switched printers now and then, and when I select an embosser
other than that for which the document had been formatted, DBT will ask me
if I wwant to allow format changes.  DBT automatically adjusts formatting
for another embosser as long as you switch them in the global menu under
embosser setup.  Maybe you've done this already.

As far as the employer from F.S.' claim, I've had no problem (we in Otawa
that is) in using a Versapoint Duo with Word, or any other package with
DBT.  DBt has the drivers for these printers, which basically allow the
printer and DBt to talk to each other.  Virtually all Braille embossers
are actuallly text driven, so no matter which package you use to write in,
DBT changes it to something the embosser can understand.
