Hi Teri,
 
Would it be possible to send me example text and braille files privately 
please?  mailto:info@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx  It helps to speed up the process of 
diagnosing the problem if we don't have to try and re-create it, which in turn, 
we may not do exactly as you have done.
 
We work extremely closely with Duxbury in pre-testing this kind of thing, which 
in turn can be most useful should special annotations be required in the Help 
files we maintain for DBT.
 
Many thanks,
 
George Bell

Subject: [duxuser] generating tables of contents


Hello
 
George and Steve, thanks for your help.
 
One of the things I wrote about in a previous message was the guide dots 
migrating to the line below the item in the table of contents which they should 
have followed.  I've discovered that this seems to happen at the end of a 
braille page and presumably because of the page number which dbt inserts in 
this case at bottom right, dbt pushes the guide dots to the next line to make 
things fit on the page.  I can get around this by inserting a hard page break 
before the item of contents which starts on line 25 but then this will probably 
mean the page numbers which dbt put in the table of contents when it was 
generated will be wrong.  Has anyone got any better suggestions as to how I can 
get around this one?
 
George, thanks for your instructions on creating a template for british braille 
code.  I'll give it a go but may come back with more questions.
 
Thanks.
 
Teri
