[Athen] Is SimBraille in Word documents compatible with refreshable braille displays?

[Gracie Sheets via athen-list]

Hi all,

I am working on formatting a textbook for a blind student that
contains both print and braille. The student has asked if I could insert
SimBraille into the word document where braille appears so they can simply
plug in their refreshable braille display for those sections. I've not
heard of this method before, and I do not have a refreshable braille
display to test it out. Has anyone tried this method and had success? Or is
this not possible due to the complexity of braille code?

Thank you so much for your insight!

Best,

Gracie Sheets
