Hi Theresa
I read from your message that you wanted the print page numbers to
start at 7, but you didn'tt say that about the braille. So, if this
is correct, when you go to set up the braille page numbers, make sure
they start at 1 or whatever number you want. The default start page
number at the moment is 2, but I understand this will change to 1 when
10.5 comes out.
Also, have you used the [lea] code every time you want a new print
page number to start? If you use this code, then put the print page
number after the close bracket, this should put a line across the
braille page to indicate a new print page. So, you would have [lea]7
as your first print page number to make them start at 7. Even if this
is on braille page 1, this will do the trick. You have to manually
tell dbt where you want each print page number to start and put the
numbers in yourself. No doubt there are other ways but this is what I
was taught and it works for me.
I've never had braille page numbers starting in the top right as well
as print pages in the same document. Whenever I come across this,
it's in textbook format, and the braille page numbers are in the
bottom right, while the print pages appear in the top right. You can
change this though. Sometimes, print pages don't always start with a
line indicator across the page, they start on a new physical braille
page, so I'm not sure how you'll get on with where the print page
numbers end up being positioned on your braille page when this
happens. It depends on how the pagination works out when the document
is translated in to braille.
If you are using the textbook template, I would suggest going in to
the page numbering dialog in the document menu as Dave has already
detailed. The initial letter is p, not n however to open this dialog.
Here you can choose the position of both braille and print page
numbers on the page. The default settings if using the textbook
template are for braille page numbers lower right, and print (or
reference as dbt calls them) page numbers upper right. There isn't an
option in here to have the braille page numbers in the upper right.
There is an option however to use one set of numbers on the left and
one on the right of a page, so I suggest you go in here and experiment
to get what you want.
If however you are using the standard textbook template, there is an
option in this same page numbering dialog to have braille pages upper
right, and reference pages either on the left of the page, or lower
right.
Hope this isn't too much detail, I'm sure others will chip in.

Subject: [duxuser] Showing print page numbers in brailled document
Please advise me...I have typed a novel and the page numbers are at
the
bottom of each print page. I have indicated 'new page' for each print
page. Now I am ready to output this in Braille using Duxbury. I want
the output to show the braille page number in the top right corner of
each brailled page. I want a 'dotted' line to indicate the end of a
print page and the corresponding page number. In this case the first
page number for the print document is 7. Help me set this up please.
I
have tried many things, but not getting what I want. Thanks.
