APH Transcriber Training Using NIMAS Files & Duxbury/NimPro
Session 6: Formatting Tables/Q&A

Objectives:
· Learn how to format Long Tables · Questions and Answers

Formatting Tables: Stairstep/Lists

Formatting Wide Tables
· Table Features within NimPro/Duxbury.
· Open your Wide Table using Nimpro

Formatting Wide Tables (cont.)
· Here you would want to take the bold out of the column headings.
· To do that, right click within the word and then "Ignore Strong" will remove the bold.

Setting up a Wide Table
· Then, export your "Table" file to DBT File.

Setting up a Wide Table (continued)
· Select BANA (UEB) template

Opening Your Table File
· Open table file in Duxbury

Table File in Duxbury
· Your file will open in Duxbury. · Put your cursor behind the
selected Table Code [htbs].

Simbraille Table Example
· Without the correct applied feature, the translated text will be formatted incorrectly, like the example shown here.

Formatting the Table
· Return to your Print Document within Duxbury.
· Select Table · Select Table Properties

Formatting the Table
(cont.)
· Select the "Table Type" · For this Wide Table exercise,
select "Table: Stairstep."

Header Rows and Columns
· Select the Header rows and Header columns.
· This table has none due to Stairstep format.
· Select "0" for both

Stairstep Table
· This will apply the Stairstep code to your table.

Wide Table to
Stairstep Table
· "CTRL T" translates the Wide Table to a Stairstep table.
· You'll need to make adjustments as needed for blank lines, TN notes, etc.
· Here, I've added a blank line between the caption and the list.

Transcription Questions

Workflow for Quick Braille Work
· Workflow Question: Do you recommend using Duxbury for quick braille work (work sheets and teacher created materials that need to be produced on-demand), or do you recommend a different workflow/software for that?

Workflow Example 1
· In this example of a handout, I would simply type it out, because of the simplistic layout of the material.

Workflow Example 2
· If I didn't have a NIMAS file for this workbook, I would use Abbyy FindReader to convert the worksheet to a Word file. From there, I would make the necessary code changes and then move the file to Duxbury.

Formatting in NimPro vs. Duxbury
· Which items is it better to format in NimPro before moving the file into Duxbury?

NimPro vs. Duxbury
· Answer: As for formatting, I recommend starting with the NimPro wizards. Using the wizards will save a lot of time. After using the wizards, I would edit in Word or Duxbury.
