Deb,
When I put forms into braille, I remove all those underlines, or whatever
characters people use. If someone held a gun to my head, I might put two or
three dashes on a line just to indicate that there is a space to be filled in,
but it would have to be a really big gun.

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.
