Dear Charles,

I translated one version of the Online Bible into braille.  The electronic
file had a hard return and a space before each verse number.  I replaced
each space and hard return with a paragraph code so the beginning of each
verse began in cell 3, like a paragraph.  This is convenient both for
reading the Bible embossed and reading it using a braille display.

If you need the NIV, let me know and I'll send it to you.

I'm considering translating other versions into braille, so let me know
which one you need.  The Online Bible program has several versions.

My idea of treating each verse as a paragraph may not be "according to
Hoyle", but the text is more readable than simply placing a space in front
of the verse numbers.

I hope this helps.
