You might want to use hard spaces between your letters.
from HELP
The braille translator normally automatically removes more than one space
between words.
A hard space "forces" space where you intentionally want additional spaces
to appear in Braille. DBT won't break lines at hard spaces the way it might
at ordinary spaces..
An example of this is where, for ease of reading, you do not want a
telephone number to be split over 2 lines.
To insert a Hard Space, place your cursor where you want to have a Hard
Space, and press Alt+F2
It produces a [']
And as for those double lines. ...
Layout: Line Codes: Double Spacing.
Keystroke: Shift + F2
Double spacing inserts a code to treat each line ending as two line endings
so that text never appears on two adjacent lines, as is common for
children's books.
It produces [svsbl1]
Happy brailling,
Warren

Subject: [duxuser] problem
I am trying to help a friend and it's not working.
My problem is, we are using DBT 10.5, we have created a document in DBT and
have put triple spaces between each letter and double lines between each
line of text. This is a lesson for learning to read. When we translate it
into grade one Braille it takes all the spaces and lines out and also puts a
semi colon at the beginning of some of the letters.
Can you tell me what is wrong and how I should fix this. I know someone out
there will know. Thanks.
