From the DBT WIN 10.4 HELP menu Item "WHAT's NEW in DBT 10.4":
File Import Issues:
Better control of hard page/soft page markings in scanned Word files
imported into DBT. There is a new item "Document scanned" in the Global/Word
Importer dialog. Checking this box deletes soft page breaks and makes use of
the hard page breaks in the file.
There is better control of skipped lines in Word files imported into DBT.
There is a new item "Preserve skipped Lines" in the Global/Word Importer
dialog.
Better BRF file import, now able to import ED-IT PC braille files
Now able to import a "hard hyphen". A "hard hyphen" is displayed as [-]
instead of - in the Codes View.
Improved LaTeX importer. the newline command and some operations were
preventing LaTeX files from importing. These issues have been resolved.

From the HELP meun>HELP TOPICS(NEW)>THE MENUs>GLOBAL>FORMATTED BRAILEL
IMPORTER
the following:
Global: Formatted Braille Importer.
Keystroke: b from Global menu
The Formatted Braille Importer dialog is used to inform DBT about the
dimensions and page numbering conventions of the braille files you wish to
import. DBT can import BRF files from older DBT versions, as well as PokaDot
and other braille files. Note that DBT uses these settings for import
analysis only. In other words, the incoming file will be reformatted to the
dimensions set in the Global Menu, using the numbering scheme set in the
Document Menu, regardless of what numbers are filled in here.
There are 11 Controls in this dialogue.
The Check Box, "Read formatted braille without interpretation"
Next are two groups of Radio Buttons to tell DBT in what corners it can
expect to find braille page numbers on even and odd pages, respectively.
The next two radio controls work the same as the first two, but they refer
to the print page, as used in Textbook braille format.
Next are two additional radio groups in which you can tell DBT to where it
will find (if any) running headers and running footers, respectively.
The final two groups are text controls to tell DBT the dimensions, in
characters, of the formatted ASCII braille file. The lines per page is a
maximum value (which should be set higher than the actual format) while the
cells per line should be set for the exact width of the pages in your BRF,
or equivalent, file.
Note: By their nature, formatted (ASCII) braille files are stripped of all
format and translation codes. To get the file ready for editing, DBT
interprets the format and adds codes accordingly. Because an interpretive
process can go wrong, we recommend, whenever possible, that you use the
source TXT or WP file instead of the BRF for importing.
I hope this helps,
Neal

Subject: [duxuser] Importing PC-Edit files
Hi,
I thought there was a way of importing PC-Edit files, but I can not seem to
find my reference or anything in the help system. Am I imagining things, or
is there really a way of doing this? How about Micro Braille files?
Transcribers in my school district have many many books translated in Micro
Braille. We are bringing them into PC-Edit and saving them in a format that
Duxbury can recognize. Looking for a short cut.
Thanks,
Keith
