heading underliningAloha 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 11/28/2008, you wrote:> > Sandy, As someone who has

"eye candy" is nothing but a needless distraction in braille. Steve> >> > -----

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> >> >> > Access your email online and on
