If you have not already found an answer, I would suggest that you ask your question in the UEB Forum.
First of all let me apologize for the delay in a response.
Unfortunately math will not convert well at all. I would suggest that you look into using the Math Options under autocorrect in WORD. It may help you in inserting some of those math characters. Another idea might me to use MathType. It is an addin for WORD.
The attached PDF was provided to me by Betty Marshall of our NBA Board. She is a Braille 2000 user. I am not. Hope her reply helps you figure it all out.
Well my files is too large to upload on Ask An Expert. If you email me at januslou@gmail.com I will share the PDF with you.
The Swift BANA 2015 template page setup codes are indeed for interpoint. I am attaching a copy of my quick page setup guide that you solve your problem.
What you need to do is you the protect group codes. This will protect strings of data that you want to keep on the same braille line. If you use ctrl open bracket to insert you codes then this is the coding you need: [:]stringofdatatoprotect[;].
You should visit http://www.brailleauthority.org to find information on all code updates.
The only DBT tutorials are in the DBT Help menu. I could help you more if I had more information.
What version of DBT are you currently using?
Do you use the BANA Word template?
Do you use Swift?
We just upgraded to Duxbury 11.3. When you choose to create a new document, you need to choose UEB from the template list. The default template is “English (BANA Pre-UEB) – Literary Format”. If you keep scrolling down the list, you’ll find the options for English (UEB).
One resource we have used in our school district in the past is from TSBVI (Texas School for the Blind and Visually Impaired: “A Paraprofessional’s Handbook for Working with Students Who Are Visually Impaired” …
Another way to insert the long dash. I emailed DBT and got the following information.
In the DXP file place your cursor where the long dash needs to be. Then using control+] (closing bracket) you will get a screen that will allow you to insert the DUSCI code for the long dash. In that box type ec45 and then OK. Then Ctrl T to translate and you will see the UEB long dash.
DBT has added this symbol to their list for the next DBT version.
What I do for plaques is this.
I do my translation and then I save it as a BRF file. I then open the BRF file into WORD and change the font to Braille or Simbraille and change the font size to 14 point so that none of the lines get skewed.Hope this is what you are needing. If not you can message me off expert or continue this thread.
