HI Mike, I hope you are also using Patterns, from APH. The books in the
classroom may be their level, but the contractions are ALL thrown in and that
is a beast...and confuses the child because there are so many reversals.
Just so thiis not off topic!! You go into the doc, and re-braille anything you
want, using the six key entry.
If you want to talk more about braille itself, contact me off line

Hey David,
I've been a TVI for 7 years now and I just got my first full braille reader.
He is in 1st grade and is advancing really quickly. He only knows certain
contractions and while we add new ones every couple of weeks it's quite labor
intensive to finish a document that's on his level. Is there a way to make
duxbury only translate certain contractions? We are keeping in with his class
and brailling what the other kids are reading at his level.
thanks

To all:
If you have an embosser with a multi-copy feature, then you may need to
deal directly with the embosser.
A mult-copy feature means you send it once to the embosser, and a commend
from the computer tells the embosser how many copies to make.
If you realize your mistake after the computer has sent the full text to
the embosser, then the computer is no longer involved.
It is a matter for the embosser to work through its assignment. Thus you
need to know what you need to do to turn off the embosser.
It is a good idea to review the manual for your embosser so you can do this
easily when you need to do this.
