Does bookshare's tools do away with all justification setting? If they do not, we could right justify the page numbers. This wouldn't insert any extra character, so to speak, for speech to worry about, and would put the numbers where sighted readers expect them to be.

As a user of a screen reader it sounds fine, but if the titles and the page numbers are not in exact columns I don't think it will fulfill the purpose of a table for sighted readers, that is, providing information in a single glance without the necessity of reading it and thinking about it."I have no country to fight for; my country is the earth, and I am a citizen of the world."

Here is a table of contents with the dot leaders as I found it. I didn't insert anything. How does it look for you sighted readers? How does it come out on a braille display? How does it sound to those who use screen readers? Window-Eyes, at least the way I have it set totally ignores these dot leaders. If I add periods like this on a line: ...... Window-Eyes also ignores them. Here's the table of contents. Contents Foreword .................................. 9 1 Intercession A Way of Life ............................ 13 2 Compassion in Action The Functions of Intercession ............... 26 3 Intensity in Vision The Priorities of Intercession ................ 44 4 Ordered Warfare Establishing Battle Strategies for Intercession .............................. 60 5 Authoritative Intercession Keys to "Fasting" Down Strongholds ........ 76 6 Praying for the Lost (A Week of Intercession) Monday: Six Interrogatives of Intercession .... 89 8 7 Praying for Authorities Tuesday: Invading Areas of Influence ........ 96 8 Praying for Nations Wednesday: Confronting Enemy Strongholds ............................. 105 9 Praying for Laborers Thursday: Co-Workers in the Conflict ....... 114 10 Praying for the Church Friday: Contending for Spiritual Awakening ............................. 12 11 Praying for the Sick and Afflicted Saturday: Biblical Factors for Physical Restoration ............................. 131 12 Praying for the Family Sunday: Prayer Patterns for Healthy Homes ................................. 143 13 Soul Conflict Taking Authority Against Spiritual Darkness ............................... 156 14 Prayer Travelers Mobilizing a Movement of World Prayer Missionaries ............................ 175 Debby At 04:26 PM 11/4/2009, Mayrie ReNae wrote >Hi Judy and Valerie, >> Inserting an elipsis between items in a table of contents and their>respective page numbers will work.
