Hi Sandra, 
 
Yes, using grade 0, then typing the quote and number 3's, then grade 2 codes
works. I think that's the way you have to do it if you're using the English
American Standard Literary template. If you use the English Textbook de Bana
template, you'll have many more styles and you'll find the Exact Translation
style there.

Thanks Jean,
  I was looking for a reply like yours for how to do underlining (not that
other opinions aren't worth reading).  When I tried your instructions, I
looked in the Duxbury styles in my 10.6 program and could not find the Exact
Translation style.  Is this something new for 10.7 or am I not looking in
the right place?
  I did get help for this when I also emailed the group I am transcribing
for.  They said to use the code alt 0, then the single quotation mark and
number 3's, and then alt 2 to go back to grade 2.  This worked, but this is
using codes and not styles.  It would be good to know both ways.
                                                                      Sandy

I disagree with the comments so far. I have been a braille reader all my
life, and I expect and like column headings in tables to be underlined. This
is what it is referring to. I don't like the idea of dumbing down the
braille for the braille reader. And we wonder why so many blind people have
poor literary skills? 
 
To get the dot five and the dots 3-5 under the heading, use a quotation mark
and the number 3 for the desired width, and apply the Exact Translation
style.
