Hi,
Hope someone can help.
I requested some files recently from a north American organisation. I
wanted to be sent the files in a .dxp format so that I could load them into
my DBT 10.4 and format them for my settings.
However, I have learnt that the organisation uses MegaDots. I do not have
that program and don't know anything about it. And it seems I have only
been sent the braille files.
I was sent the files with this explanation:
I saved the files out of MegaDots in two ways: Braille formatted files with
a .brf extension and an ASCII line with a .txt extension.
My question is: is there a way I can emboss these files according to my own
page set ups which are different to what these files have been formatted
to? I.e., I use 11 by 11.5 inch where as they have been formatted for 11
by 8.5 inch.
Secondly, it would be nice if I could somehow change them to print so that
I can then apply the English Australian translation tables so I get things
like the point being dot 2 rather than dots 4,6.
I tried opening one of the .brf files in DBT and I chose the importer of
formatted braille. Duxbury told me that the page depth had been exceeded
or something like that.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Ramona
