Hi Marjorie, Could you please send the offending file as and attachment to [mailto:info@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]. I'll have it loaded onto a Braille 'n Speak here and see what I can figure out. By the way, what Model is your BNS and what level of software does it have. George. -----Original Message----- From: Marjorie Arnott [mailto:marnott@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: 15 October 2003 15:44 To: duxuser@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [duxuser] mystery about dxb files. Hi George and Listers: I am the one Fina sent a DXB file to be translated into braille. It seems when she braills it, it brailles just fine with the hyphens where they should be but when I got a copy of the file, which was already prepared for brailling where hyphens were supposed to be duxbury put in the number one: e.g. 1-1/2 became 111/2. I had another friend send me a test message with a couple of recipes and her document preparation worked out just fine. Fina is using DBT 10.04 whereas I am using DBT 10.03. We thought this might be the reason, but when the other file came through and it worked, guess need to get Miss Marpole to check out the mystery. Any help would be appreciated as this is a long book, almost 250 pages.
