Of course the question none of us have asked:
Is the embosser itself numbering the pages - or is DBT?

Dear Tamru,
It sounds to me like what George described this time is something
different than what you want to do, which is not to change your original
file, but to emboss the pages that you didn't get when the power went
out.
Usually, when you are in DBT and press control-e to emboss, you just
press enter to start embossing the whole file. But when you press
control-e, a box comes up. The first item is "copies:", with 1 as
default. The second item is "All" or "Selected" radio buttons. "All"
is the default. You must pick "Selected", then fill in the page numbers
(the physical pages, not as numbered in braille unless the first braille
page is 1, as George described in his first answer to you).
I'm sorry, I don't know how to tell you to do this without a mouse;
maybe someone else will fill that in, if necessary.
Good luck!
