My new system is in the hands of the vendor right now. They are installing the software, I hope, as we write.

Hi Daveed,

The Word Braille Template for BANA layout is very
comprehensive, and is documented in Help.

Why don't you install 10.5 as a demo version, and then you
can judge for yourself?

I see from Joe's message that there are a number of
additions 
re file mapping and templates to make formatting a bit
easier.  For instance, I have to emboss quite a number of
voice-over scripts for narration and commericals.  I'm
wondering how I can do this in the correct format--with
hanging indents, for instance, rather than with
conventional
paragraph indents. With 10.4, which I tried using last
week,
I took a script written with Word, translated it and
embossed
it, and it came out in book format, rather than play
format.
Does the new Help cover all these formatting assists in
detail? 

Thanks.

Hi Daveed,

At this point in time, I'm afraid the answer is, "Not
yet".
It's simply been a matter of lack of time. However, I
am hoping it
will be possible to begin by producing accessible Word
files.
Completion of Help is almost the very last thing that
gets
done, as it
invariably has to be completed when the programmers have
frozen the 
code.

Bear in mind that provided you have an embosser
connected,
you can now
emboss an individual Topic from Help. Not ideal, but
hopefully a step 
in the right direction.

Is it possible to obtain a new braille manual for this
new
version? 
Thanks.
This is especially necessary for those of us only now
starting out 
with DBT for Windows.  Thanks.
--Glad to know some attempt has been made to make DBT
more 

intuitive, especially in the area of formatting.
