Dear Sir,
Thank you very much for the response.
Recently, I have started using DBT for proofreading the reading materials
for the blind. I am using DBT 11. Some of two major problems I have faced
till date are:
1. Although I translate to grade 1. In some of the documents, I
have realized that at least the first few lines would be in Grade 2.
2. The other problem I faced is, suppose I have opened two
Braille documents and wish to copy and paste from Document 1 to Document 2,
I realized that although it has been copied, yet cannot be pasted.
3. In the print document, although I may have a good format of a
blank line to differentiating various sections, yet when we translate into
Braille, seem to omit the blank line kept.
Ctrl-K seems to manually create a blank line, depending on where we wish
for. However, isn't there any rule file for Duxbury to set as default to
recognize and leave the blank line as is in the print document?
Looking forward to hearing soon.

Hi Kuenga,
The single most important requirement is that your file(s) have Heading
Styles applied appropriately.
If you are starting with Word for Windows, then these are normally the
Styles called "Heading 1", "Heading 2" and upwards. When a Word file is
opened in DBT, these Word Styles will automatically be converted by DBT into
its own Styles as described next.
If you are starting in DBT, then these Heading Styles are called "h1.",
"h2." and upwards.
These Heading Styles are what are used to build the Table of Contents (TOC).
You cannot build one automatically without them.
Bear in mind also, that you can only build the *braille* Table of Contents
once you have translated your text into braille in DBT.
If you have started in Word, it is a very good idea to build a TOC and check
to make sure it is what you will want in braille. However the Word TOC must
be deleted either before you import, or alternatively as soon as you do
import into DBT.
I have to say that when I do training sessions, applying Styles and building
a TOC in Word is often what I begin to show people. It never fails to amaze
me how few, so called "experienced" Word users manually type a TOC and take
hours to do what can be done in less than 10 seconds. One of the usual
comments I get is, "I wish I had known how to do that the night before I had
to submit my university thesis!"
Moreover, having shown how easy this can be, and if Word users are
encouraged to Style Word documents correctly, it saves the Braille
transcriber a great deal of work and valuable time.
