This one's applicable for all computer type manuals so worth a read. I've decided to braille out the dos commands pages and QuickBasic tutorials that I found online but don't know how to proceed. I'm using Duxbury for Windows and my Braille Blazer. What format should I use to save the files off the net? I'm thinking either txt or rtf. What grade of braille should I tell it to use, considering that there are symbols etc in the manuals? I'd like to use Grade II but don't know if the symbols will get mistranscribed. How should I tell Duxbury to format the braille output so that if there are spaces etc for a sighted person, they don't make me waste paper? Thanks.
