Another suggestion if you're really committed to getting rid of that stuff
is to get the Notetab pro program which allows one to use regular
expressions to do bulk search and replace actions.  Dean Martineau, in a
brilliant tutorial, available at a minimal cost of $9 for 50 articles, tells
you how to use Notetab's regular expression engine to search for and get rid
of the Braille page numbers in web Braille .brf books.  Then, when you send
them to the BookPort, the ableicd type nonsense words generated by the
translator won't occur.  I use it all the time and just love it.

"Hi BPer's
" 
"I've downloaded a few web braille titles from NLS and i've 
"noticed a few interesting character strings in the text of the 
"books.  I've seen two sets of what i think are page numbers 
"and sometimes in the middle of a sentence i might find 
"something like this;
" 
"Jane likes cookies but ableiec not browniers.
" Has anyone lelse experienced this?  Is there anything i can 
"do about it.  It's interrupting the flow of my book and 
"driving me crazier than I already am.  Any suggestions?
" 
"Thanks
