A brf file (Braille ready file) is ready to go to the embosser or a
notetaker. It has no formatting commands in it--just braille characters,
spaces, line endings and page breaks. If a line is centered, you'll see
spaces before the text. It's usually made at the end of a transcription when
all the work is done and editing is complete. BRF files are not easy to
manipulate or edit.
A dxb file is a Duxbury braille file. It includes formatting codes. A line
may say that this is a heading or body text or an outline. It is useful
during transcription when all the work is not completed and there's more
editing and formatting and other changes to make. It is easier to manipulate
than a BRF.
Hope this helps.
Warren

Thanks for the information, I really appreciate all the help I receive on
here. Now to further my knowledge what is the difference between a dxb file
and a brf file.
Thanks,
Tom

Tom,
Use a program that doesn't add any formatting to the text file, such as
Note Pad.
