Hi Marilyn,

Braille users can download the Daisy, as well as the .brf file.  In HTML, 
which would be Braille Grade I, or uncontracted Braille, the accent marks 
should show properly.

Best,

Sue S.

Please don't think that, by my previous message,
the opinion of Braille users isn't as important to me.
It's just that I already got feedback about how the
special characters show up in Braille, and I'm sorry
the first hundred or so pages of this book will be
so bad because of my ignorance.  I will ask Carrie,
if necessary, if I can delete and replace the special
characters using Word.

The book is the biography of Vladimir Horowitz, the
pianist, and it's fabulous!

Truly, with all due respect,
Marilyn
