Hi David,

I'll email it to you either today or early Monday and I'll sure appreciate any 
help I can get.  I have several other files that I need help on so I'd really 
like to figure out a way to make these files come out correctly.

Thanks again and I hope everyone has a great weekend.

Deb B.

Deb:

Web braille files are user submitted, and have inconsistent format. So this is 
not an area where there are general rules.

Why don't you e-mail me (to david@xxxxxxxxxx, not to the whole list) a file, 
and I will see what is going on.
I have ancient tool I wrote a long time ago to give feedback on braille files. 
If it does help, I will offer it to a wider audience.

Hi everyone,

I need to transcribe 3 volumes of a book that is on the WebBraille site.  Ive 
tried everything and cant get it to emboss properly.  I seem to always have 
had difficulty with WebBraille and dont really understand why.  I could copy 
and paste and most of the time, I did better with that than the way its 
supposed to be done.  Ive tried having my Duxbury set for 25 lines, 26 or 27.  
The 40 cells are fine.  No matter what I do the page number is either on the 
first line of the page just after the running head or on the second line.  And 
no matter what margin I use I get the message: margin exceeded or something 
like that.  I have an older version of Duxbury but we have Dux 11 in house and 
are supposed to upgrade.

But anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,

Deb B.
