It is sensible to keep the DXP (if there is one), DXB, and brf files for
your archives.

Thanks Warren, so if I am transcribing a text book, once I have it formatted
should I then save it as a brf file or will dxb work just as well?

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.

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

 

                                       Thanks,

Tom,

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