Hi Lisa,

 

One or two questions?

 

What version of DBT do you have?  

 

Is the whole document in Spanish?

 

Does the braille reader want Spanish as used in Spain, or as used in
America?  (I suspect the latter)

 

The following is for 11.1, but will apply in some earlier versions.

 

If it's Spanish as in Spain, simply start a new document in DBT and
select the Spanish Template. The create your document.

 

If it's as used in America, open the document in DBT, and highlight
the Spanish Text.  Then from the Layout Menu, select "Apply Style" and
then select the "spanish" Style.

 

Translate, and all being well, Spanish rules will have applied.

 

George.

Good afternoon all,

How would one go about translating a document for a spanish speeking
person?  I have a one page word doc that will need to be converted in
to spanish.  I have never done this before and would appreciate the
help or any advice you all can offer.

thanks in advance,
