Thanks Jean,
  I was looking for a reply like yours for how to do underlining (not that 
other opinions aren't worth reading).  When I tried your instructions, I looked 
in the Duxbury styles in my 10.6 program and could not find the Exact 
Translation style.  Is this something new for 10.7 or am I not looking in the 
right place?
  I did get help for this when I also emailed the group I am transcribing for.  
They said to use the code alt 0, then the single quotation mark and number 3's, 
and then alt 2 to go back to grade 2.  This worked, but this is using codes and 
not styles.  It would be good to know both ways.
                                                                      Sandy

I disagree with the comments so far. I have been a braille reader all my life, 
and I expect and like column headings in tables to be underlined. This is what 
it is referring to. I don't like the idea of dumbing down the braille for the 
braille reader. And we wonder why so many blind people have poor literary 
skills? 
 
To get the dot five and the dots 3-5 under the heading, use a quotation mark 
and the number 3 for the desired width, and apply the Exact Translation style.
