Hi Nicky,
I suspect you would be best to use the French Unified Braille Template.
However, it would be good if you were able to check with one or two delegates
first.
You certainly would NOT want to use the French Style for anyone whose native
braille language is French. For example the French use Antoine numbering,
where the French Styles in many countries use conventional dots 3456 numbering.
George.

Good day
I hope someone will be able to help me. I need to translate a document into
French. Now I see that there are 4 French translation tables. How do I know
which one is the correct one to use? It is for a conference and there will be
delegates from various countries.
Any help will be much appreciated.
Kind regards
Nicky

George and All:
I checked my Word .Doc and yes, you knew it. somehow in the text of my document
the Currier New font was set in the area of text that was printing strangely.
Now, I have one other question, I’m leary to re-translate the .doc into another
.dBX file, because I’m not relishing having to do all the other formatting and
re-generating the TOC. Is there a way to correct the problem in the already
translated file that will keep my page numbering as is? Thanks again.
Eileen

Hi George,
I know for a fact that I have in various places in my .doc “Currier New” set as
the font for HTTP addresses, but then I after those web addresses set the font
back to Callibrie Light. I was always under the impression that to get a web
address to print correctly in DBT I had to in Word give the address the Currier
New font. I will look again at the area where the last set of font changes are
and try to determine what the problem is. Can you explain to me what the
comp-display is or does? Or at least a brief overview if its too detailed to
explain?
Thanks for your help.

Hi Eileen,
Tricky to be exact without seeing the original Word file.
However my initial suspicion is that there may be a courier font used in some
places in the Word file, and DBT’s Global: Word importer may be set to
automatically apply computer braille.
Take a look at DBT’s Global, Word Importer and if the first item, “Transcribe
Courier to CBC” is checked, uncheck it and re-import the Word file.
George.

Hi All,
I have a Word .doc file that I brought into DBT 11.2 It’s a large file and I am
not sure about something Jaws is reading to me on the DBT screen that makes me
think I’m going to get a lot of unwanted and weird underline characters if I
finish printing the second volume of my Braille file. When I checked the
reveal codes in DBT I am seeing/hearing Jaws say “comp-display.” What is the
comp-display and what will it do? Should I delete it out? I’m trying to avoid
having to re-format this file since I have a table of contents that I don’t
want to throw out of sequence. Any ideas on how to fix it?
I think it may also have at this point switched to computer Braille since
numbers do not have the # (dots 3-4-5-6) before numbers. Thanks.
Eileen
