Hi, mayrie!
 
No, it is the nature of the beast; they are "smaller" and naturally don't
"touch" the adjoining one, unlike the underscores.  Between the placement
being mid-letter as opposed to underneath it and the natural spaces it looks
like a  bunch of minus signs.  I know that is no help probably, just an
explanation of why it doesn't convey a missing word/phrase.
 
Wish I was better at describing things...
 
Valerie

Hi Valerie,
 
I didn't mean spaces between the hyphens.  I meant that a blank to fill in
should look like ---- that.  Is that any better?

Mayrie;
 
I was afraid you would say that.  No, hyphens are located higher and with
spaces and would do as much harm as good and be confusing, but if it chokes
Braille, I guess we have to defer to that and lose the fewer sighted
readers.  Ugh! Oh, well, that si why I ask ...

Hi Valerie,
 
Underscores choke the braille translator.  Will dashes not work for sighted
people?

The standard for sighted is underscores, and usually 10, but I think 5 would
still give a dighted reader the idea; could that be a workable compromise or
are underscores tough in Braille?
 
Thanks for the help; this book will be  alot of work, but a great resource!

Hi Valerie,
 
Were it me, I would use four hyphens together, surrounded by spaces to
indicate the blanks that need to be filled in.  Is that what you are asking?

We are working on a bible study guide and I cannot remember the best
practices for displaying/conveying fill in the blanks in the study sections.

Thanks!
