Hey Donna, Thankfully, I have a windows copy of Duxbury available. I recall in the past trying to emboss from a virtual machine using duxbury and running into issues with my mac not being able to detect the embosser. The only fix was to install windows on a bootcamp partition rather than a virtual machine which worked well. Wondering if that bug was fixed and whether one can now emboss out of the virtual machine.
Thank you so much!
