Hi Deb,
In this particular case, it looks like you'd be OK.
However personally I might want to tweak the .doc file to
get rid of the new line codes and replace them with carriage
returns.
Alternatively, apply the DBT para. Style to each line.
Either way, lines (or knitting rows) would then begin in
cell three, with runovers in cell 1.
However, I'm sure BANA probably have a recommendation for
knitting patterns.
George.

But if I want it in grade 2, I just translate and
emboss, right?
Thanks, as I kind of did it a similar way. I opened
the file in word and then used a shortcut key to get it to
Duxbury and then translated. So I'm glad I wasn't too far
off.
Thanks,
Deb B.

Hi Deb,
This may not be ideal, and it may not even
be acceptable, but here's what I did.
I copied the pattern of one of the State
dishcloths and pasted it in to Word, where I saved it as a
normal Word document.
I then ran DBT, and in the Global, Word
Importer made sure that "Preserve Skipped Lines" was
checked.
Now import the file to DBT.
Place your cursor at the very beginning of
the document, hold down the Alt key and press 1. This will
effectively then cause the document to come out in Grade 1
Braille.
George.

Okay, George; here's a link for you.
Scroll down the page a little and you'll see: click here
for free knitting patterns ... then there are a bunch of
patterns for dish cloths.

The one I originally had problems
with was the Alabama dish cloth as there were several files,
which I didn't realize until later ... Enjoy!! <g<

Hi Deborah,
I'm afraid knitting isn't really
something I've ever studied, and so I really have really no
idea what a knitting pattern looks like.
Could you perhaps give me a URL so
that I can look at a few examples on the Internet please?
George.

Hi George,
Okay, I'm confused. I got some
knitting patterns from the Internet and it's listed html. I
thought I could just use Duxbury--cut and paste--but it was
a mess. I got lots of interesting things including the
greater-than and less-than words. So I did the next one by
going to Word first. Then I had to copy and paste it into
Duxbury. But reading your response causes me to ask: are
you saying that I can take a html file and go to Duxbury,
apply the compu codes and the file will translate without
all the extraneous info?
And maybe it's my lack of sleep
that's the problem here.
Thanks,
Confused in rainy Carolina

Hi Karina,
The likes of HTML code should be
translated in Computer Braille.
If it is a block of text on its own,
so to speak, highlight the text concerned and apply the DBT
Style "compdisplay."
It it is HTML text within a sentence
such as "<p>" for example, highlight the HTML and apply the
"compinline" Style. This ensures that your normal text is
translated using literary rules, and the HTML using Computer
Braille Code.
George.

Hi List Members,
I have some HTML code that I need to
translate into Braille. There's a quite a bit that appears
in one block. However, when I translate it using English
(British) - literary no capitals the words are written out
as in greater than and less than etc. When I have seen it
done before less than has oppeared as an ow and greater than
an o. Is this correct notation, and if so, how do I get
Duxbury to use this format?
Thanks.
Karina
