Thank you for my response on this matter. I was wondering how many people on this list have dealt with publishers's files and would this be a major problem for blind people to do Braille transcription once they complete their certification in the Literary Braille code. On another topic, I noticed that Duxbury doesn't have a feature that allows something that is in uppercase to be changed to lowercase and vice versa. I don't think that Duxbury have the ability to create macros like you could in either Wordperfect or Microsoft Word.
