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> >> > Date:

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

a needless distraction in braille. Steve> >> > ----- Original Message -----> >

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> >> >> >
