I wonder if DBT is putting the calendar in a table format. Perhaps a stair
step table or a list where the first column is at the margin and the second
column is indented. Turning on coded view with alt + F3 will show you which
codes were used to create the table when you imported it from Word. I think
one way to fix it would be to remove any table-related codes and then tab
once before each date to indent the date by 2 spaces. You can also uncheck
the box within the Word importer in the global menu to ignore hard page
breaks and set print page breaks to ignore. This should allow DBT to insert
the page breaks. I'm still kind of new to DBT so other folks may have better
ideas. If you want me to look at the file, you can send me the .dxp and/or
the .dox file to dscalzi@xxxxxxxxxxxx Good luck.

Subject: [duxuser] Problem with columns
I am the rankest of computer user. So I need clear step by step directions.
I have a Braille Blazer embosser, a computer with Windows 7 and Office 2010,
and the newest release of Duxbury. I am being asked to braille an
organizational calendar that has the name and contact information for the
agency at the top, then two columns in which the date is followed by the
activities for that day in them. I have tried using the literary braille
option and the textbook one and both seem to view the first date heading and
event as some sort of header which they put above each subsequent date and
event. To say the least, it is a mess. I copied the document from a word
docx and pasted it in to notepad to save it as a text file. Then I embossed
that one and it brailled clean except for a page break halfway down the page
with the closing info on the last page. How do I remove page breaks and let
the Translator put them where they are needed. Also, How can I have each new
date and event in paragraph form with an indent in front of the date. It is
currently having them as a hanging indent so a lot of paper is wasted since
the text listing the event is all endented. Hope this makes sense.
Thank you,
