Susan:

I am not using the Word template. I'm using the BANA Literary template in DBT
11.3 when I Import Word files into Duxbury.

I prefer to do my Braille formatting directly in Duxbury because I find it's
interface to be easier for me to use than the Word interface.

Frank,

You didn't say which version of DBT and the template you are using. If you are
using the 2014 Word template, you'll find two bullet buttons on the toolbar (to
the right of the Reset button). The solid bullet is the primary bullet, and the
open bullet is the secondary bullet.

When you use these bullets, the simulated braille for the bullet will be
inserted into your file.

When I translate documents using either the BANA Literary or the BANA Textbook
templates, bullets are rendered incorrectly. The 2007 BANA standard calls for
bullets having the form of (dots 4-5-6, dots 2-5-6).
Instead, Duxbury generates (dots 1-6, dots 1-2-3-5).

How do I coax Duxbury to create proper bullet symbols?
