Aloha Sandy,
I don't understand that rule either, and I've never seen that dot 5
you mention in a braille document.
Perhaps someone else will be able to explain the purpose, but I agree
with Steve that it is just more clutter.

Sandy,
As someone who has read braille all my life, I can't imagine what
that Bana rule is even talking about. I see no useful purpose in
underlining column headings. That kind of "eye candy" is nothing
but a needless distraction in braille.

Subject: [duxuser] Column heading underlining
Does anyone know how to enter the underlining of a column
heading. I looked in the Bana Formats Rules and it said to flush
the heading left and then on the next line enter dot 5 in the first
cell and then dots 25 across the width of the column. Then enter
the column items beginning in the next line under that. (Rule 4,
Sec. 5, b) In Duxbury entering the colon : gives you the dots 25,
but I can't figure out how to enter dot 5 by itself at the
beginning. When I use the underline style for the word, it just
puts an italic sign on the heading.
Thanks, Sandy
