Hi everyone,

I have a question for everyone.  I have been transcribing the Braille Edition 
of the 2004 National Federation of the Blind Deaf-Blind Division Agenda that 
will be printed on both types of Braille paper.

The default format, is set for 40 characters per line with 25 lines per page 
and is saved as a formatted .brf format after translating the file.  I want to 
take the same Duxbury file and translate it using the smaller paper for 
embossing.  Do I have to go into the Braille printer settings to change it for 
the 30 characters per line with 25 lines per page? I don't know what printer or 
whether it will be printed on both sides of the page.  I want to set this up as 
a standard format so no matter what printer is used whether it be interprint or 
single-sided or whether it's the wide or narrow paper that it would be set up 
for that.  I don't know what Braille translation will be set up and whether the 
agency at Colorado Center for the Blind uses Duxbury.  I am assuming that they 
use that program since I am trying very hard to comply with NLS standards and 
following the BANA codes for formatting.  It is my understanding that there is 
no standard format for setting up a format for agendas especially for a 
national convention such as National Federation of the Blind in Atlanta, 
Georgia from June 29 through July 5, 2004.  Next year our convention will be 
back in Louisville, Kentucky at the Galt House.

I look forward to hearing from everyone soon.
