Hi Christine,
As I've stated already UNDO is high on the list.
I've asked for "Find & Replace" in marked block of text - just like in Word -
to be added to the list.
As regards paper size and other attributes, I don't think that will make it
into this design of DBT, but again, it is high priority for the day a new
"ground up" design begins. I know that many people have a mixture of paper
sizes, and certainly in our case we have to contend with 6 different widths,
and at least two depths. Hence we feel it is essential to hold such
information in the actual braille file.

Hi George,
Like Ann, I would very much like to see the UNDO feature as part of DBT. I
would also like to be able to do a FIND AND REPLACE on a marked block of text.
Inclusion of these two features would I know save me and presumably many
others, considerable time and frustration.
Another one to go on the wish list would be a feature whereby when a file is
translated from DXP to DXB, a pop-up reminder (best if it were an optional
setting) could simply state 25 by 40, or 27 by 30, or 15 by 30 etc reminding
the user of the current global translation parameters thus alerting us to
current number of lines per page and characters per line. Such a feature would
greatly assist those of us who regularly need to change such parameters to meet
the requirements of various documents being produced. Particularly if the
embosser is some distance away from the computer, or if the user has been
working on several projects over a short period of time.
Many thanks
Christine
