Shift-4 is the dollar sign. It would in braille be the shifted
apostrophe.

Okay, then that will help a lot. Thanks, oh and to do just the dot 4
using
Duxbury, in the print file, what would she type? Using the braille
file,
she could type shift-4, right?
Thanks,
Deb B.

Deb,
According to BANA rules, any letter that has a special mark in print is
brailled with a dot 4 BEFORE that letter in braille. That's when, as
you describe, it is a book in English and it's not used to teach the
foreign language. If in italics in print, it will be in italics and
uncontracted in braille.

If someone is transcribing English text but has Spanish words--if there
is a word that has the o accented, how would she transcribe the word?
Would it look like: oni+on with the plus sign being the accent? Or
would it be
oni+n?
Funny thing is I used to read Spanish some and I can't remember anything
about how the letters were accented except in senor.
The lady is using Duxbury to transcribe but only has Spanish words in
mostly an English text.
Thanks,
Deb B.
