If you are a braille reader, we have .brf files of the Power Point used in each lesson. If you are using Duxbury, before opening any BRF files in Duxbury, go into the Global menu. Select “Formatted Braille Importer” and then check the box for “Read formatted braille without interpretation” at the top of the window. This will ensure that nothing is changed when opening the BRF files.
To save the file to your computer, so that you can open it from there, using whatever translation software you have, please follow these directions:
Right click on a brf file and save it to your computer.
