Thanks for the replies. With regard to the plain text being embossed then I really don't know - I don't read Braille so I was *assuming* what the Braille embosser produced was okay. So to cut a long story short. If I am going to use the Braille Embosser I would definitely require translation software? If that is the case, what do people recommend?

This is a little confusing Tim, sending plain text from word won't even produce grade one Braille, never mind grade 2. Do you mean you were sending plain text documents just to test the system? You need translation software just to produce plain prose Braille, never mind tables.
