Many people would like a brf document. If you have Duxbury on your PC, you
could import the file into DBT, translate it into braille and save the
document as a brf document. Any notetaker could read it and you could even
emboss the file! Some people prefer paper braille.
DBT will import Word files but it doesn't like rich text format.
You would need to make sure the file shows computer braille when it needs
to, so you will need to add codes.
I don't trust scanners, so I suggest you have a sighted person check your
print file against the hard copy and make all corrections before you release
the manual to the public.

Subject: Perhaps OT general inquerry
Hi all,
Sorry if this is OT.
0\I am enrolled in a correspondence school. The school is willing to give
me credit hours towards my degree for putting their standard school
materials in an accessible, electronic format for the blind.
I am currently using Openbook 7 and I am generally pretty happy with the
results it has afforded me to date. My question to you WE users is:
What would be the best "Files of Type" format to save these school
materials in through the OpenBook v7 program that would best serve the
majority of blind computer users? Incidentally, there will probably be
those attending the school who, for whatever reason, use other screen
readers.
The available "Files of Type" format saving options in OpenBook 7 are as
follows
Arkenstone Docs, *.ark
Text Files, *.txt
Text Files with line brakes, *.txt
Wordwin 6, 7, 8, *.doc
RTF Documents, *.rtf
HTML, *.htm
WordPerfect 5.1, *.wp5
WordPerfect &, *.wpd
WordPro 96, 97, *.lwd
WordStar Win2, *.wsd
I was thinking that HTML would be the most accessible format for most
people, but what do you guys think?
Thank you in advance for any suggestions you may have for me to help me
out in this project.
Sincerely,
