Hi, Gigi, Thanks a lot for the heads-up. I will check this out. I'm wondering if you couldn't do a search-and-replace with a brf file in text-edit and remove the control characters that way. Another entirely different way to go about it might be to use Louis and back-translate the file into a text file. Of course, the Braille formatting would probably be lost, and I must admit that I like the pretty spacing and paragraphs very much.
