Hi George,

I am using dbt 10.5. This may sound like a stupid question but, will the new Braille symbols be able to be incorporated into my copy of dbt? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, ----- Original Message ----- From: "George Bell" <george@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

If you want to see what character will produce what Braille
dots, there is a list in Help.

In Help, expand "Codes, Styles & Templates", then "Codes".
Arrow down to "Miscellaneous" and expand that.  The first
item there is "Embosser Character Table".

The table shown there is in Numerical dot sequence.

George.

Betsy,

The semicolon produces dots 5-6. The caret produces dots
4-5.

Aloha Jean,
Wouldn't the semi-colon produce the dots 4-5 that you are
looking for?
It's also a letter sign, so that could also produce it.

With the release of the BANA Code Updates for literary and
textbook
formats that were just released and which took effect on
January 1,
there are new symbols for things like copyright, trademark
and
registered. Dots 4-5 "c", "t", and "r" respectively. Will
these
codes be added to the next release of DBT?

Also, how are rule changes incorporated? Will DBT wait
until the
entire code is revised, or do they build in changes as they
are
approved? I'm thinking here of the new rule in literary
English
braille to not insert an apostrophe in plural numbers,
abbreviations, etc., and to use the termination indicator
instead if
changing from an uppercase abbreviation to a lowercase
plural "s".

Is there any way to create the new symbols for copyright,
trademark
and registered in simbraille in Word? I can't think of what
might
create the dot 4-5 part.

  "Stressed" spelled backward is "desserts"
