Sounds like a good question I've always wondered as well. -- "To me, music that breaks your heart is the music that stays with you forever. It's one thing to be melancholy and one thing to be sophisticated, but when you get the two of them together in a way people can relate to, then I think you're on to something. You want the sophistication to lie in the purity of the sound, the beauty of the arrangements, and the quality of the performances."-Trumpeter Chris Botti -- Chela Robles AIM and E-Mail: cdrobles693@xxxxxxxxx Skype: jazzytrumpet WindowsLive Messenger: cdrobles693@xxxxxxxxxxx Facebook Profile: http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?ref=profile&id=690550695 Cell: 1-925-250-5955 I Volunteer for a non-profit organization called Bookshare, to find out more go to: http://www.bookshare.org Are any of you trumpeters and have facebook?

I've noticed that my screen reader will sometimes say ellipses and sometimes just say dot dot dot. I'm thinking that if the Braille conversion tool would recognize the actual ellipses, it would be displayed correctly in Braille and print and work for everybody. Perhaps this is something that needs to be checked with engineering to know for sure.

I know this sounds opinionated, and I'm sorry, but I'm not sure this is always possible to achieve in one book. For example, if we format correctly for braille, (such as in the ellipses we've been discussing forever), perhaps a dyslexic reader is not getting his or her needs (which are just as important) met? What is the answer, I wish I knew. Thanks for letting me vint everyone! Are you feeling any differently about working with us, Scott? Sure do hope not. Susan, The Questioning Proofer
