Thank you, and you are right! I went back and changed from math colon
to text colon on the toolbar and it translated it properly.
Now I can move on. . . .

Can't recall if it would matter if you were set to "text" rather than
"math" on the toolbar when you input your original document. I know it
makes a difference in question marks and periods - at times I want the
literary representation, not the Nemeth one for those characters, even
within a math word problem, and I have to be careful how I've set up my
input.

Thank you for taking the time to respond. Just to let you know,
when DBT translated it from Scientific Notebook it used the # sign hour,
then dot 5 dot 2, # minutes. I see now it should be dots 456, 25 after
the hour. I do have it set to English American template. Don't know if
I put it in incorrectly in Scientific Notebook. I'll check again.

Hello Becky.
If you are transcribing the math problems in Nemeth Code, that
includes brailling the time in Nemeth Code. So the digits are in the
lower position. There is a number sign at the start of the time and
after the colon; the colon is dots 456, 25.
If you have brought the material into DBT from Scientific
Notebook with an English (American) template, then it is automatically
set for Nemeth Code, which is appropriate.
Sincerely,
Caryn

Good Afternoon and Happy Friday!
Could I get some help with transcribing time?
I have a math problem which states arriving at 8:00 am and
leaving at 11:00 am.
1. Do I use nemeth code to state the time?
2. Is the colon between hour and minute different in nemeth
than literary?
I don't see this addressed in the Nemeth Manual, and when I use
Scientific Notebook and Duxbury to transcribe I get a different
translation than what is stated in the Literary Instruction Manual.
Thanks for any help.
