I don't like the symbols, whether it be those underline things people
use for sighted people to fill out or leaders. I always delete them
before beginning to fill out the form if it's online. If it's hard
copy, they would waste space.

Subject: [duxuser] Question about forms
Hi everyone,
I just have a question, maybe mainly for those who read Braille, but it
is Duxbury-related.
I'm filling out a form that has name, address, etc. The print form has
Name: then a line that translates, of course, into dots 46 ... grrrr!!!
Then it has Address: (same kind of line) etc. My question is this: if
a Braille reader wants to fill out that form, is the line a nuisance.
You have to skip past all the dot 46's, whether they're translated as
dots 36 or 25's or whatever, before you can fill out the form. So as a
Braille reader, would you rather have a short line of (whatever
characters) and then lots of room to write or do you prefer the lines of
characters. Personally, I like not to have the characters at all. But
I'm just looking for opinions.
This form is a form that will be filled out by people with varying
levels of Braille skills,and we're hoping to be able to make it
accessible on line, too, so anyone can fill out the form who needs to.
Anyway, I just wanted some opinions and anyone can write me off list if
needed.
Re Duxbury, the replace feature definitely comes in handy here.
