Hi Debra,
While in the DXB file, you can back-translate it by pressing Ctrl-T. This
creates a DXP file which is, of course, uncontracted. Then, go back to your
DXB file by pressing Ctrl-Tab and close it. This will place you back in your
newly created DXP file where you can then insert the [g1] code at the top of
the file by pressing Alt-1. Then, press Ctrl-T again to translate it back into
braille. This will create a new DXB file which will be uncontracted.
One cautionary note: back-translation can sometimes produce some strange
results, so you may want to proof your uncontracted file to make sure nothing
has gone wrong. This is why you should ideally use a DXP file that hasn't been
created by back-translating a braille file. I realize that this may not be
possible in your case because you started out with a BRF file and you may not
have the original file that generated it.
Good luck, and let me know if you have any questions.
Steve
