Hi Eileen,
I’m afraid that editing the DXB (Braille) file would be pretty hard work.
However, you could still modify the DXP (Print) file.
I’d suggest making a copy first, and use the copy to try out the following.
Alt + F3 will toggle Codes on and off. I suspect that if you look for the
compinline or compdisplay. Codes, you will find that they are in pairs where
the closing or ending code is prefixed with a forward slash. (The screen shot
below shows this visually.)
You can delete either the opening or closing, and it will delete the pair, so
to speak.
However, be aware that it is entirely possible that by doing this, which will
stop it using computer braille, it may take up more or less space.
George.

Hi George,
Thanks for your help. I also do the bulk of formatting in Word before bringing
anything into DBT. There is very little I actually do in DBT, except for
generating the table of contents, and re-setting some page numbering issues.
I don’t know how this particular section in my .doc got the Currier font
applied to it, but there it was.
I was hoping there was a DBT code or style I could apply to the one section in
the DBX file where this problem is and set the Braille back to English Braille.
Thus, keeping the page sequence in order with what I had already printed out.
Ah well, I guess I’ll have to re-translate and re-generate my TOC.
Thanks again.
Eileen

Hi Eileen,
Sorry I didn’t get back to you yesterday, being on GMT and a Sunday.
If you must work with the already imported file, I suspect the only way to get
rid of the Computer Braille will be to search for the Codes and Replace with
nothing. You can do this in DBT so long as you remember to check the “Replace
Stylename” box in the Search and Replace process. (F6 to trigger S & R)
I’m afraid my own experience is such that I do my utmost to get a good, well
formatted Word file first.
As regards the “comp” Styles. “compdisplay.” Is a paragraph Style where a
whole paragraph is to be in Computer Braille. “compinline” is a character
Style where things line e-mail and web addresses are contained within the
sentence or paragraph with otherwise is in normal Grade 1 or 2 braille.
However, nowadays, if the e-mail or web address in Word has the Hyperlink Style
applied, which is often done automatically in Word, DBT will import it
correctly, even though it may be in a Courier font and you have ignored this
font feature in DBT’s Word importer.
And just to keep 100% up to date, Unified English Braille (UEB) does not treat
web and e-mail addresses any differently from normal braille.
Hope this helps.
George.

George and All:
I checked my Word .Doc and yes, you knew it. somehow in the text of my document
the Currier New font was set in the area of text that was printing strangely.
Now, I have one other question, I’m leary to re-translate the .doc into another
.dBX file, because I’m not relishing having to do all the other formatting and
re-generating the TOC. Is there a way to correct the problem in the already
translated file that will keep my page numbering as is? Thanks again.

Hi George,
I know for a fact that I have in various places in my .doc “Currier New” set as
the font for HTTP addresses, but then I after those web addresses set the font
back to Callibrie Light. I was always under the impression that to get a web
address to print correctly in DBT I had to in Word give the address the Currier
New font. I will look again at the area where the last set of font changes are
and try to determine what the problem is. Can you explain to me what the
comp-display is or does? Or at least a brief overview if its too detailed to
explain?
Thanks for your help.

Hi Eileen,
Tricky to be exact without seeing the original Word file.
However my initial suspicion is that there may be a courier font used in some
places in the Word file, and DBT’s Global: Word importer may be set to
automatically apply computer braille.
Take a look at DBT’s Global, Word Importer and if the first item, “Transcribe
Courier to CBC” is checked, uncheck it and re-import the Word file.
George.

Hi All,
I have a Word .doc file that I brought into DBT 11.2 It’s a large file and I am
not sure about something Jaws is reading to me on the DBT screen that makes me
think I’m going to get a lot of unwanted and weird underline characters if I
finish printing the second volume of my Braille file. When I checked the
reveal codes in DBT I am seeing/hearing Jaws say “comp-display.” What is the
comp-display and what will it do? Should I delete it out? I’m trying to avoid
having to re-format this file since I have a table of contents that I don’t
want to throw out of sequence. Any ideas on how to fix it?
I think it may also have at this point switched to computer Braille since
numbers do not have the # (dots 3-4-5-6) before numbers. Thanks.
Eileen
