Hi Tamru,

Tables and data in columns, be it with any braille translator, are not 
something which can easily be handled automatically.  They do require a degree 
of study to determine the best way to convert them.

To complicate matters further, how things are produced in the originating 
document can vary greatly, depending on the skills of the person who created 
the document in the first place.

What you may find, (and I stress the word "may") is that if you use Word's 
"Convert Table to Text" option, you may begin to make sense of the table 
content, in such a way as to determine how to handle it as far as braille 
output is concerned.  You may even find that it is not necessary to do much 
more, or you may find perhaps that you have to change the payout of the table 
from a horizontal format to a vertical one.

Perhaps you would like to send me one or two specific example of table which 
you wish to convert, and I will try to suggest how they could be handled.  
Please send privately to:  info@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I think once you begin to see some actual conversions, you will begin to 
understand how to approach the problem.
