Hi Don,

Questions 1 and 3 are kind of related.

In 10.4 I'm afraid you can't replace Styles.  This can however be done
with the latest 10.7.

That said, replacing Carriage Return / Line Feeds can be a hairy
business as I'm sure you already know.

As regards question 2, I suspect the best cure would be to re-install,
since it would appear that one of the dictionary components is
missing.

I really should add that 10.4 is around 8-9 years old and there have
been some changes in rules in that time, but if the braille you
produce is for your own consumption, this is likely not a problem.

George.

Subject: [duxuser] 10.4 General questions



Question 1.  In version 10.4, when translating a text file 
for brailling, is there any setting, style or other 
parameter I can change which will instruct DBT to ignore 
single occurrences of crlf?  I know how to use search and 
replace to get rid of them.  I just wondered if I could 
somehow eliminate the need to do this.

Question 2.  I have somehow messed up up a setting such that 
when DBTW is launched, I hear the message "no override 
dictionary."  What do I do to fix this?

Question 3.  And now for the last question of the day.  When 
using search and replace in 10.4, what is the syntax for 
replacing each occurrence of one specific DBT command with a 
different DBTW command?  For example, how would I go about 
replacing each occurrence of a new paragraph with the DBTW 
symbol for a new page?

Thank you in advance for feedback.

Don Roberts
