Jeanne, After importing the document, place your cursor at the beginning of the file and press Alt+1. This keystroke inserts the codes [tx][g1], which tells Duxbury to render the braille as Grade I. After inserting the codes, translate in the usual manner. The .DXB file will be in Grade I (or, if you prefer, uncontracted) braille.
