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.
