Thanks we found that out. It was an innocent mistake as they had never done
this before. It looks like there is lot of clean up on a scanned file into
word. But here is another question. I am trying to send a file to someone to
proofread for me. I do it in dux and as I don't read braille I attach the
print version file to an email. The person is supposed to translate it back
to dux braille and proof it. We are both sighted. When the person I send it
to tries to open it it doesn't open. How do you suggest they go about
reading it?
