the things I need to be looking for in order to produce a good Braille

First of all, selecting text while you are in a Word document and then
copying the text to the clipboard, then pasting that text straight into a
document in DBT, is not a very good idea.

The reason for this, is that programs such as Microsoft Word, use many
internal codes that are only
known to the program and not to other programs.

You are more than likely to end up with a bunch of codes that have no
meaning to DBT whatsoever, which you will then have to remove from the DBT
file.

Oh! I forgot, if you left those codes in the file, they may produce unwanted
and undesirable results in the braille file or when you came to emboss the
file.

To import your Word documents into DBT, Follow the procedure as described by
George Bell in an earlier email response.
