Hello Maureen.
Here is what is supposed to happen when you open a Word document with MathType
equations in DBT 11.3 or 12.1 with the template English (UEB) – BANA with
Nemeth.
All of the numbers and symbols that were part of the MathType equations will
appear in the braille as Nemeth Code. However, numbers that were entered as
part of the text will appear as UEB numbers.
With that said, if you insert some special codes around a section in the
Word document, then all of the material in that section will appear in Nemeth
Code, even numbers that were not entered in MathType. The codes are as follows:
Start the section with: [[*idle~ptims*]]
End the section with: [[*idle~ptime*]]
If you are using the BANA Braille 2015 template in Word, you can press Alt, X,
Y, Y, K, S to insert the starting code and Alt, X, Y, Y, K, E to insert the
ending code. These codes create what I like to call a "pass through in math"
section. A pass through in mmath section will be enclosed by the UEB indicators
to start and end Nemeth Code. But there will be none of those indicators within
the section. This is intended for a section of problems, with each one entered
in MathType, where you do not want to switch to UEB just for the problem
numbers.
All the best,
Caryn

I agree. My students are not learning UEB this year, as I systematically taught
it to them last year.
Now, having taught them that, when I bring a math doc into UEB, it does not
have translate the math correctly.
So now they are reading UEB for literary, and pre-UEB for docs with Nemith.
I have people who are doing the production, who do not know braille, so they
are assuming this is all coming out correctly, which it is not, so I need to
know which translation/template/whatever it is called, to open it in, where I
can be confident the students are getting correct Nemith. Here's to a fun
school year:)

You want the message from BANA or what's best for the student? LOL
All kidding aside, many agencies are requesting Nemeth before the change and
incorporating UEB. So, it's contracted UEB with contracted Nemeth.
BANA Guidelines are extremely challenging for the pre-UEB reader since they
wish to incorporate code switches and Nemeth in grade 1.
I recommend a gradual change because students should not be concerned with
legibility in a math class. Learning the braille should be in braille class. If
you have the opportunity to tweak for each student's needs, that's awesome.
Just my two cents.

Sorry I know this has been asked but here I go:
I have a doc with math equations which I open in Duxbury. Should I be using PRE
UEB, or UEB with Nemith? When I open the doc in UEB with Nemith, all of the
numbers are in literary format.
My students are using UEB but for math docs I have been opening them in PRE UEB
and it reads the math type correctly.
I guess our students will be very versatile...they seem to have to know all the
braille pre-post-during-in-between....
