Hi George Thanks a million for your help. I still wish that I could at some way get rid of that first blank cell at the beginning of each line. The embosser does not seem to print it that way.

I have seen this done with both Alva and Powerbraille 40 cell displays, though of course one should not ideally be producing more than 40 cells per line. Having said that, I personally would still advocate a final paper proof copy. If nothing else, it serves to check the quality and accuracy of the braille being produced by the embosser. I'm afraid I have seen all too many cases of late where embossers have perhaps dropped dots, or even complete cells, for one technical reason or another.
