Gary, 
What I was referring to is not in DBT it is in Word. With 10.5 a MS Word 
template is downloaded. When you select new under the file menu in Word a box 
pops up and under the general tab is a braille template. This was installed by 
DBT 10.5 When it is opened there are additional buttons and pull down menus 
that put the correct style formatting into the Word document that will be 
recognized by DBT. I believe the Computer Braille Code in line button is near 
the top and says CBC on it (I'm not on my computer with DBT installed at this 
moment). You highlight the text you want in Computer braille code and then 
click this button, just as you would if you were changing text to bold or 
underlined... When this is selected the font does appear slightly different 
than the rest of your text -off the top of my head I can't remember what it 
says in the styles, font or size boxes, but it is a noticeable difference.
Unfortunately you cannot open a previously made document into this Word 
Template, however you can select all, copy and paste it into the template and 
then make any needed changes. I do this for the monthly school newsletter for 
one of my students. It has several email addresses and web sites listed every 
month. 
Hopefully, this makes sense and you can get this to work.

      Hi Catherin,

      The instructions you gave are for working directly in dbt.  I would like 
to do this in Microsoft Word.  In the dbt menu bar I see a tab for format 
hyperlinks but, this didn't seem to do any thing.

        In the word template with 10.5 there is a button for the computer 
braille code in line style. Simply highlight the email address or web address 
and select this button.
