Dear Al,
If your friend has an embosser, she could emboss the lesson onto paper and
send them in by snail mail. I'm suggesting this in case she doesn't have a
PC or cannot afford DBT Win.

Subject: BN formatting
I am posting this for a friend who is taking the NLS Braille certification
course using the Braille Note BT 5.1. Her material is being rejected
because of formatting problems. Following is her brief note to the
instructor, a reply from the instructor, and a reply to the reply. If
anyone can assist with the problem, please let me know, and I'll forward
replies to my friend or, if you prefer, I'll send you her e-mail address.

A propos the BN, I created the Braille lesson for NLS as a BRF; I read
the
file in layout mode so the carriage returns and page breaks definitely
show
up; I have the margins set through the format
menu, 40-space line and 25-line page.
Thanks in advance for looking at this!

I wish I could help you with the technical end of things. While you're
talking with PulseData, let them know that your line breaks are appearing
simply as carriage returns (ascii 13), where many programs expect to see
carriage return+line feed (ascii 13 ascii 10) at the end of each line. I
do an extra step of running your files through a scrub table (a Duxbury
utility) to get those linefeeds inserted, but that's an extra step. Also,
your file does not have page breaks in them, so I'm surprised it is
printing OK for you.
I hope these notes are helpful.

I hope this does it - I have no idea why the carriage return was
obliterated on Line 3 (or 1 of the lesson). I actually called Pulse
Data about
it because it happened again upon closing the document.
