Frank,
First you must make sure DBT is set up correctly to recognize your
Simbraille from Word. Open DBT and go to the Global > Word Importer menu. As
you are using the DBT Literary template, make sure you have "Treat braille
and simbraille fonts as braille" checked. OK when you are done with this
dialog.
In Word, put your cursor where you want the bullet. Type in the ASCII
bullet, which is _4. Make sure you put a space after it. Select _4 and apply
the Simbraille font. You now have your Simbraille bullet. Copy the bullet
(and following space) and paste it for each bullet you want in your
document. When you import your Word document into DBT, you will have your
bullets.

Hi Susan:
I have no idea how to insert sim Braille into a Word document. Can you
direct me to some information about how that is done?
Thanks,
Frank Welte

Frank,
The Word bullets do not import at this time. You have to insert simbraille
bullets, instead of Word bullets, in your Word file.

This incorrect rendering of bullets occurs whether we are using the Bana
literary template or the BANA textbook template. We are using the latest
version of Duxbury, 11.3.

Frank, disregard my message if you are using the Literary template. That
does not have the numbered styles I was referring to. In that case you'll
need to modify the list style, create your own style, or code your lists
manually.

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.

Subject: [duxuser] Duxbury generating incorrect bullet symbols in BANA
Braille.
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?
