Duxbury has stated that discussing the merits of the BANA rules is beyond
the scope of this list.

To all: I agree with you all--underlining is useless for the braille reader.
When I transcribe I omit the underlining to simplified the reading when
unnecessar. There is enough going on with punctuation signs why add composition
signs if not needed.Priscilla

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.At 02:05 PM

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. Steve

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
