Hi Tom.
Welcome to the free-for-all.

I don't use a Braille display, so the answer to your first question will have to wait for smarter heads to wake up. But, can't you use "structured" mode to get anything sent to the Braille display that is sent to the synthesizer?

As to your second question: whether the hyphens are there or not, the word has to be combined on either side of the page break.

Bob

Hi Kathy.

The font changes are not automatically picked up by openbook, nor any
scanning program I know of.

Some people who scan do apply the font changes, but many prefer to leave it
to the proofreader to  apply them. That's one of the great things about
having two people work on a book.

  Any one,

  I am new at this list, so please bear with me. I have scanned one book,
and am in processing of scanning another. Do I apply these font rules during
scanning, or they automatically picked up by the scanner? I use Openbook.

But as a new proofer who uses only Braille to proofread the book, how
do I know the font changes?  And I have another question, also.  In
the book I'm currently proofing, there are a number of occurrence
where a hyphenated word is obviously divided between print pages, but
the hyphens are being omitted either by the scanner or something else.
I've been correcting them.  Should I?  Because if I understand the
manual correctly the answer is yes.
