Terri,
Can a person use duxbury even if they don't have an embosser?
I mean, can it just be used to create brf files?
Is there something out there that's good for that that you can put on your computer.

Have a blessed day,

Hi, Tessa,

When you create your file on your pc, you need to specify that the asterisks are to be in computer braille code. You can do this easily if you have Duxbury in your PC. If you don't, try adding an at sign (shift 2) before the first asterisk. Place two hard returns at the end of the asterisks.

The BSP translates everything into contracted braille and that's why you see the stars or asterisks as in signs.

You could also choose something else to use to separate the sections, but you'd run into the same problem.

The answer to your second question is easy. In braille, an ellipsis must have a space before it and a space after it. If you don't follow this rule, the word it... will be translated as an x.
