Hey Jill, first of all, you aren't translating anything. The file you are editing is in text! The reason your Braille translator is well goofing up is it is a machine and not to up on the rules of Braille transcription. The software for Bookshare is an automatic translator, it is not staffed by someone who will fix those Braille errors. But don't do anything in your file, because bythe is not seen in print! which is what you are working in. Shelley L.

There is precious instruction to be got by finding where we were wrong. -- Thomas Carlyle
