Daveed,
You obviously didn't see my reply last Tuesday to the first time you asked this
question.

Hi Daveed,
Be assured that everyone at Duxbury is working towards as seemless a package as
possible.
As regards letter folding, there is a new feature in 10.5 which will format a
document to allow folding lines. I have to confess that while it leaves space,
it currently doesn't place a row of dots to fold on. I shall look into the
practicality of doing this, though it is most likely limited by current
embosser capabilities.
George Bell.

Hey, David! How are things? When is Duxbury going to be tailored to be as
user-friendly for blind people as is MegaDots? Any possibility, too, of adding
the very handy dotted folding line for letters that you guys put in MegaDots
years ago?
Hope all is well with you and caryn
