Well, what I did was this: I opened the help file I wanted to copy. Then I
used select all to copy the file's text to the clipboard. I closed the help
file. I opened a new print file, pasted the clipboard into it and
translated it.
I'm using WindowEyes for my screen reader, so I can't help you with finding
the button for embossing. I did the copy and paste thing because I wanted
to create a .brf file I could read with my BrailleNote.
I hope this isn't too confusing.
