If the files only have a line break at the paragraph boundaries then simply
open the file in DBT WIN.
Go into Coded view to see how the line breaks were coded on import.
Then search for what ever code that was given for the line breaks.
Replace that code with the paragraph code or 2 hard returns as you wish.  Or
you could define your own style to do exactly what you want.

Once completed save your file, just in case.
Then ALT+D to open the DOCUMENT MENU
Then T to open the TRANSLATION TABLES list.
Then choose FRENCH
CONTROL+T to translate to braille and you will have Grade 2 French.
(I do not believe that MegaDots supports Grade 2 French?)

Both DBT WIN and MegaDots have their specific strengths and weaknesses.  In
the future there will be a new generation of software coming from Duxbury
Systems, Inc.  It will hopefully contain all the current strengths along
with new functionality and abilities.
