Boy, that is scary.  Excel is so flaky for braille translation because
of the hoops you have to jump through to get it into DBT.

Thanks, Bob.  I'll try all your suggestions.  It's a financial form so I
have to be careful that all the info is there.

Hi Deb,

Wel, Excel files will not open in Duxbury. Here are two possible ways to
go. 

1. You can try either cutting and pasting or saving the excel file as an
MSWord file. 

2. The long way around; retype the info into an MSWord doc. Since a
spread sheet is much like a table, you will probably have to do a good
bit of reformating unless it's an unusually small worksheet. 

Hope this helps.

Bob Hachey

I have some files with the extension xls.  How should I go about opening
these ... I don't know anything about excel except that it causes my
head to hurt.  I have 8 documents to fix and emboss.

 

Thanks,

 

Deb B.
