Hi, Terri,
I tried changing that setting in the ASCII translations options but it
didn't work. I thought I had it made when I thought of that a couple of
nights ago. I'm afraid you're right, and I certainly can get the correct
results by using the computer.

Dear Karen,
The Duxbury translator on your PC is a full-fledged version, but the
Duxbury
on your BN isn't. That's probably why the Duxbury on your PC will
translate
characters differently.
The fastest way to translate your cookbook into accurate braille would be
to
use the DBT on your PC.
But if you really want to translate the files into braille using the BN,
then you will need to search for the fraction characters and replace them
with regular numbers. For example, you would search for the unicode
character one half and replace it with 1/2.
There is one more thing you could try which might work. Go to the AScII
translation options and change the setting to convert ansi characters to
standard ASCII. The fraction characters may or may not translate
properly.

: Hi, everyone,
:
: I recently bought a cookbook on a CD-Rom. It has several hundred
recipes
: with a .doc extension. Every fraction in these recipes has, instead of
3/4,
: for example, a character representing that fraction when it is read on
the
: computer. When I translate any of the files in to Braille, I get stars
: instead of fractions, and with a cookbook, that's disastrous, (smile.)
When
: I opened one of the documents up in Duxbury on the computer this
morning,
it
: translated as a .brf file beautifully. How can I get these documents
: translated on the BrailleNote so that the fractions will show up. The
: BrailleNote has a Duxbury translator so it stands to reason that I would
be
: able to do the same thing with it that I did on the computer this
morning.
: I hope that this question makes sense to some of you who know Duxbury
and
: Word. I can do this on the computer so that is a definite work-around,
but
: doing it on the BrailleNote would be really nice. Thanks for any help.
