Dear Katie, The formatting commands are designed for translating KeyWord documents from print to braille and braille to print. Unfortunately, when you export your document to Word, two things happen. First, none of the formatting is preserved. This is because the layout codes aren't preserved when the document is exported. Second, the BN can't translate a document into Word. Instead, it translates the document into rich text format. If you open a "Word" document created on the BN with your PC, you will notice the file is not a true Word document but a rich text format document.
You can create your document in braille and translate it to rich text format but you will have to use a PC to add special formatting like double spacing, page numbering, tabs, etc. Terri, Amateur Radio call sign KF6CA.
