Warren,

I don't usually keep anything but the .DXP files, my reason being that I can use DBTW to generate anything else I need. My one exception to that rule is in cases where I've created a table of contents. Then I keep the .DXB files so I won't have to recreate the TOC. I used to keep .BRF files back in the DOS days, but that was because it was easier to send them directly to the embosser than it was to go through the whole translation process. DBTW makes all that unnecessary.

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.

Warren

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

Tom,

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