Alex,

The Stainsby route suggested by someone else is probably not what you're 
wanting, if Carol is producing the document on the computer . . ..  One way 
around it would be to send the document to a transcription service for 
printing.  Unless she's wanting to do a lot of Braille documents, it's not 
worth the expense to think of getting an embosser.

If you do go down the embosser route, you might want to try for one of the 
more portable, though rather less durable and somewhat slower, models. 
There may be some second-hand Porta-Thiels around, a Braille Blazer or two 
or something like that, which you could purchase.  Otherwise, as I've said, 
the transcription route may be the one to go.

Hope you can find a suitable answer soon.
