Yes, I have not had a problem typing and then translating that into Braille
using "ctrl-T" However, I cannot get the documents to merge. I have no idea
how to get everything on one page. Are you saying I just open them both and
then emboss? Because right now, I am not being able to insert anything into
my music file.

Hi, Christine,
Although you can rename the .gf output files from GoodFeel to .brf files
and then use Duxbury to emboss them, there should be no need to do so. In
order to emboss directly from GoodFeel, you must install the
Generic/Text-only printer driver. See the entry
Q. How do I add a generic text-only printer?
On our GoodFeel FAQ page at
http://www.dancingdots.com/main/gffaq.htm
You’ll also find a link to a page that shows the following instructions:
1. Add a Generic/Text Only printer in Windows if one does not exist.
2. Start GOODFEEL from the Start menu and go to the menu item Options |
Embosser Setup...
3. Choose a Generic/Text only printer in Printer Name.
4. Click on Save these values as defaults so that GOODFEEL will use the
settings the next time that it is started.
5. For more help read Braille Setup, Embosser Setup in the index of
GOODFEEL's help file.

When you create a new file in Duxbury Braille Translator (DBT), you must
indicate to DBT what kind of new file you wish to create. Your choices are
print or braille.
Try the following quick exercise to get a sense of how things flow:
· Run DBT
· Click on File | New
· Choose “Print” as your document type.
· Type 2 or 3 sentences.
· Press CONTROL+T
· DBT should open a new window and display the equivalent braille
for the text you entered into the print document.
In Duxbury, the print documents have the extension of .dxp. The braille
documents have a file extension of .dxb. Once that braille document opens,
press CONTROL+E to emboss. DBT does allow you to save your .dxb file as a
generic .brf file but, provided your set up properly, you should not need
to take that step in order to emboss directly from Duxbury.
HTH,
Bill

Bill,
I seem to be having some confusion. In the past in order to print or
Braille my music I have had to convert it to BRF files and then emboss
through Duxbury. (Something about our embosser settings makes us have to
use Dux) However, I cannot insert print files from Duxbury into BRF files.
I am just trial and error-ing here, as I am only one semester in to using
this software. I have never inserted anything into music Brailled documents
and although I read through all of the instructions of how to create this
master document on the Dancing Dots website, I still need more specifics.
