Hi Vivian,
You can just put each list item on its own line and the list will be fine.
However, if the lists are bulleted, please change the bullets to asterisks,
since the braille translator handles asterisks, but can't interpret bullets
accurately.
Thanks for being so conscientious!
Mayrie

Another question:
This book also have lots of itemized list, can I use the table for this as
well -- making it a 1 column table? Or, what's a better solution.
Right now, there are paragraph markers after each line, when that gets
converted, will there not be a blank line after each paragraph?
Thanks,
Vivian

Hi, Vivian!
The tool preserves tables built on tabs in Office, if that is your concern.
So, tables where appropriate are allowable, even desirable.
The general reference for replacing tabs with a space is as in the beginning
of paragraphs and copyright page. Another mutually agreed upon allowable
exception, to make a TOC more readable, if you don't want to make it a
table, is to use an ellipsis between chapter name and page number. That may
have been decided after the last manual revision by common consensus.
Most of the people I know like the TOC as a table for ease of viewing, but
not everyone wants to do that much work. Its easy for me and easier for me
to proof, so I make it a table. After all, it is a TABLE of contents,
right? Grin.

Hello,
How do I handle a table in the body of the book? Can I use a table format
used for the table of contents? I have several lists in the body of the
book, that the columns should be lined up. The manual says that tabs will be
converted to a single space.
Thanks,
Vivian
