Hi all,
Please can someone help me? I have a file to emboss, and it contains maths
symbols that I need to transcribe into Braille, but I am not sure if the way
that I have been daught Braille is the right way, and I can't seem to find the
symbols anywhere, and I am not sure how to represent them in Braille.
Firstly, there is the division symbol. I was taught that this was dots 5,6
followed by a lower d (dots 2,5,6 - otherwise known as the full stop). If this
is the correct division symbol for UK Braille, I am wondering if the division
symbol that is found under the symbols option in Microsoft Word is the correct
one to use so that Duxbury recognises the symbol and translates it correctly.
Secondly, there are exponent values within the document. For example, ten to
the power of 6. When I did GCSE maths and maths at school, I was taught to put
the "ing" sign before the lower equivalent of the number e.g. ten to the power
of 6 would then be 10 ing f (without the spaces). Is this correct, and if so,
how do I get it to work within Microsoft Word so that Duxbury recognises it
without having to go and format the duxbury files if possible?
Thank you in advance for your help, and I look forward to reading your
responses soon.
Karina
