You're going to have a hard time being on the same page, so to
speak. Web-braille files are typically 38 to 40 characters per line and
mostly 25 lines per page. But occasionally there will be a 26th line
because corrections were made. You should either be using the disregard
import settings, or use the braille import settings, with textbook format,
probably at 40 characters per line and 26 lines per page. I don't think
that using DBT to emboss Web-braille material is a very easy thing to do.

I'm pretty sure that when I opened the .brf file in Dbt I went with the default of Standard, and not textbook. Does this Make a difference? Sorry, but I'm new to this and not sure what the selections should be. I have noticed that after about the 9th Braille page, the page numbers stopped printing at the lower right of the page and there after were about the second to last line on the pages in the right margin/corner.

Sorry. I shouldn't have said "reference page." It's the braille page which is being treated as a unit by the emboss routine. So if you're running in texttbook format, look for the braille page numbers which are in the lower-right corner of pages. Then check the preliminary pages which are before braille page 1.
