Hi Lisa,
What version of JAWS are you using? Set your JAWS braille settings to show
uncontracted 6-dot braille. Also, go to the view menu in Duxbury and select
the setting to show the translated line. I'm not using my Windows computer
right now, and I don't remember all of the steps exactly, but if you need to
select a program to open dxb files, you can find those settings in the "file
types" tab of the folder views dialogue box. You shouldn't have to do that in
Windows XP.
