After sending this message I realised that you were probably talking about the table of contents. In that case scratch what I said about placing the page number a line above the chapter title. What I said about thinking the lack of a space possibly being a problem for Braille users stands, but because I am not a Braille user I think it would be better for those who are to speak to that.

I think that might be a problem for Braille users, but as a synthetic speech user who usually reads books in continuous read mode I am not sure that it would make a difference. As for myself when proofreading, I place the page number above the chapter title with a blank space between them. I do that because of the advised format as discussed on this list of page break, blank line, page number, text of page, blank line, page break.

I'm proofreading a book. The scanner tabbed from chapter titles to page numbers. I know that tabs are deleted. I've been putting a row of periods between them (which the book itself, has, actually. I realize that if the tabs are deleted, the page number will be adjacent to the chapter title--unless I put one space between them.As a sighted person, I would find that somewhat difficult to read and would prefer that the page numbers are further from the words and lined up somewhat. But I need to know what most of you prefer. Shall I continue putting in periods and lining up the page numbers as best I can, or do you not mind having the page number right next to the chapter title?
