Hi Paula,
You put the codes in at the very point to wish to change
grade in the file BEFORE you translate it.
George.

Hi all,
You may think I am stupid! but when I want to change to
grade 1 put in a hard space and put in double lines do I put
in the codes before I translate or before? Also do I have to
select the text.
I am just learning this and am getting a little confused.
Thanks for the help.

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

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.
Paula Kilburn
