Dear Maria, Some slight corrections to your post. On the QT keyboard, the letter to use for translating into computer braille is c, grade 1 is 1 and grade 2 is 2.
To preserve the codes, the file _must be saved as a KeyWord document. The preferred reading grade only applies to reading the document on the braille display. Translation codes must _always be added when a person wants to _emboss the document in a different grade. The codes will appear in the embossed document. That's why I wish PDI could change the way the codes are presented so they will be hidden and not seen either in the embossed document or on the braille display unless a person chooses to reveal the codes.
