Hi Pamela
I do this exact same thing myself with by BLM 40. I find the cleanest files
are achieved as follows:
1. Open the word file in dbt.
2. Translate into braille (ctrl t).
3. Save this braille file as a formatted braille file (I usually use USA
encoding). Do this by using save as, not just save. If you use the save
option you just save the dbt braille file with all its codes which look
messy on the braille display.
Then just find the file , which now has a .brf extension, in \dbt docs and
copy to your braille lite. You may want to set the line length in dbt to 38
instead of 40 so you don't get little run over lines. Do this before doing
the ctrl t step (using the global menu/embosser).
Hope this helps.

Subject: [duxuser] question using DB and braillelite
I have word 97 documents that I want to read with the braillelite 40. I
want the files as small as possible. When I translate these files using
Duxberry, is there a way to get rid of all the formatting automatically,
except for paragraph breaks? Since it is an electronic file being used with
a one line display, I don't need all the margins, line breaks, etc.There
must be an easier way to clean these documents than searching each word by
hand. Can anybody help?
