[bksvol-discuss] Re: What about bullets in Braille?

I keep the bullets if they're in the book. But there
are times when my Word puts in some kind of bullet in
headings and try as I might I cannot get rid of it. I
finally have stopped trying and hope that it just
doesn't get translated or converted or if it's kept
that it doesn't bother anyone.
