Hi Ellen, Usually when there is a footnote, I take out whatever symbols are before it since they probably won't read in braille. Since they do vary, it seems easier to just put the word footnote in brackets followed by a colon and then the text. -Alyssa From: bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Ellen Bartlett Sent: Saturday, May 14, 2011 9:26 PM To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [bksvol-discuss] end-of-page oddity Hi group, I have a problem and am not sure how to solve it. The book I'm currently working on, Boys Adrift by Leonard Sax, has a number of pages with notes at the end of the page. In the text of the page, and before the notes themselves, there seem to be symbols showing that a footnote appears. I've checked books.google.com to find out what symbol this might be, but there appears to be no consistency from one instance to another. It seems to be either an asterisk, a single dagger, a single quote, a caret, or, most often, nothing at all. There are a number of pages where no symbol appears in the text to show what the note at the foot of the page refers to. So, my question is: what the heck do I do to remedy this?Since even Google books is so inconsistent, I'm thinking the only way to fix it is by having someone sighted get it from the library and go through it with me. Any other ideas or help? Thanks, Ellen
