If it's Duxbury 10.5 or higher you can do this directly from Word because they have a Duxbury menu right in Word itself. Open the Word document in Word, or paste in stuff from E-mail into Word by doing control A, then control C, then control V. In any case, once it's in Word press alt D for the Duxbury menu, then choose emboss direct and pres enter. This opens Duxbury, it does the translation for you, and sends it directly to the Embosser and keeps you in your Word file all in one step as long as you have set up your Embosser up in Duxbury first. If it's an older Duxbury you can just open a blank print document in Duxbury by pressing control N and following the prompts. Paste in your content, do a control T to translate it to braille, then control E and enter to emboss. Is this what you needed?
