Thanks a million Eleanor.


I don't have the licence number, as it was an licence which was
purchased for me through the dept. of education, and I never installed
it myself.

I'll have a look at the embosser and figure out what the number of that is.

Thanks a lot for that contact in the UK, I'll give him a shout and
see.  I know the embosser is called a 'Braille Blazer', and that I got
it in 2001, but apart from that I have no idea off the top of my head.
 I'm using Windows XP.
Best,

Christina
