I use Word because it seems (to be) a bit better with text-handling than the version of DBT that we have installed at our location. Also, I prefer the grammar and spell-check capabilities of Word to that of DBT. I have found that it is much better to open the Word document from within DBT than to try to copy/paste it. There were a number of characters that translated incorrectly into Braille when I would copy/paste (about 5 years ago, when I was very new to Duxbury). Opening the Word document within DBT solved all of those problems. I'm not familiar with megadots, so I can't say anything about that software.

Why can't you just use the DBT transcribing software? I am sorry for the ignorance but I am a new user to duxbury and am used to using megadots. Also I would like to know if when you do use Word do you have to copy and paste into your duxbury doc? I would like to do this differently but this is how I was shown. Thank you for your advice. ____________________________________ Subject: [duxuser] Re: page numbering Date: Sun, 13 Mar 2011 04:37:25 +0000 From: george@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To: duxuser@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To begin with, see Help: Codes, Styles and Templates: Codes: Page Numbering: Print Page Numbers. How are you preparing your documents? Hopefully it's with Word for Windows, in which case I can give you some further details to help do this.

We would like to number them the way our textbooks come...such as a1, b1,c1,d1...a2,b2, etc. =
