It would be nice if you could do macros in DBT so that such things could be
done easily again and again.

Don,
 
You might want to put additional spaces between words for someone who was
just learning to read braille.  The reason you can't just insert spaces is
that Duxbury compresses more than one space to a single space.  There used
to be a code to tell Duxbury not to do that, but I couldn't find it in the
code list, so I assume it was removed.  Now, the only workaround is the [']
code, which inserts a "hard" or non-breaking space, which tells Duxbury that
you explicitly want a space in that spot.
 
If you wanted to, you could enter the document with the requisite number of
spaces, and then use the Replace function to change every space to a hard
space, but that's as much work as the methods already discussed.
 
Steve
