Hi Lindy,
This is a good question! Unfortunately there is not an easy answer.
Your best options will vary depending on what translation software you are using. There are some general tips that can help though, like Disabling Smart Quotes in Word. You can also benefit from using Find and Replace to find single quotes and apostrophes and replacing them with the appropriate Unicode character. Here's a link to the Unicode character for single quote and here's one for an apostrophe. It can be time consuming to search for these examples, so one tip is to search for the symbol followed by a space. That will help remove several examples of apostrophe, since apostrophes are often followed another letter and not a space. Finally, here are some tips specifically for Duxbury.
Hope this helps!

Hi Barb,
You should be able to open the DXB and then use ctrl + T to translate back to print and this will maintain much of the coding. You'll want to make sure the DXB is not just a renamed BRF. If it's just a renamed BRF, it won't have the information necessary to maintain the coding. Otherwise you should be fine.
Thanks to Jonathan Carson of the CAT Committee for supplying the answer to this question.
The person I consulted with pointed out to me that Larry's Speakeasy addresses these very symbols.
There are no spaces in the examples, not even around the arrowhead.All of these examples are shown on this page:

I am also attaching a document with the symbols in simbraille.Thanks for your help! I hope I have this image posting thing figured out!

No problem. Thanks for your help! So if I am understanding everything you've said correctly the Grade 1 terminator is used only when it would allow the use of contractions and those contractions would cause the braille to take up the same amount of space or less than if a letter sign (or no indicator was used in the case of letters that couldn't be mistaken for numbers) had been used instead.
