Please avoid superscripts. Cindy recommends them but bookshare does not. Please go with what bookshare has suggested. Let's stress the braille translator as little as possible, shall se.

It is a nonfiction book about personal finances. I have run into a place where he quotes a number of sources and denotes them with a # followed by a number. This refers to the footnotes at the end of the book.I need some help to know how to format this. Here is an example from the book.short years.#2 A recent survey conducted by Consolidated Credit Counseling Services found that 71 percent of Americans say debts are making their home lives unhappy.#3 A recent study in The Wall Street Journal states that 70 percent of the American public lives from paycheck to paycheck.#4 Interestingly, a Marist Institute poll published right after that Wall Street Journal article stated that 55 percent of Americans "always" or "sometimes" worry about their money.#5 If 70 percent are broke and only 55 percent are worried, I guess the other 15 percent are asleep..Thanks for any help! -- Doug ---------- No virus found in this incoming message.
