Where can you get the full-size braille slates? Also, is there anyone who downloads Web braille a lot and uses Duxbury to translate? If so, would you contact me off list? Thanks, Deb B.

Someday I want to get a full size interpoint slate but have not done so. I do like my 3 Janice slates 3x5 which I keep with me all the time for short notes. Thank you!

Then you could make it single- or double-sided. Alternatively, you can write out a complex layout in advance using a Perkins, and then re-type the finished layout into your computer. It's a lot of work, but sometimes, if you know in advance what words will land under each other and how much space certain tabular things take up, you can actually save time. I'm sorry if I misled you in any way.
