Dear listers, I have an old braille printer that is not attached to my mac. To emboss something, all I have to do is create simple plain text files with 27 lines per page, and no more than 30 characters per line. Looking at how text edit handles printing however, that works with inches or centimeters, and in general, with a bitmap, the size of the paper you choose to print on. Characters, lines and the whole page can be scaled.
However, what I need for my braille printer is to ignore scaling, and tell text edit to wrap to the next line after 30 characters max, and a page break after 27 lines, no matter which font size etc I choose, because fonts etc are not important in braille. Once a text document has been loaded in text edit, how do I reformat it, so that it writes a carriage return line feed pair at the end of each line of 30 characters most, and a page break, control l, at the end of 27 lines? Very interested. I'm now doing it all by hand, but since I received 8 songs from my choir all at once, I'm hoping to learn an easier way to reformat typed text into something my braille printer can handle. That braille printer is on windows, but I'd rather do all the preparations in text edit, than on a windows machine. Is it possible to make text edit do what I need here?
