Hi Tom,
The answer to your second question is simplest. Yes, if a word is split
over two pages, whether the hyphen is present or not, common practise is to
unite the word on one page, generally the page on which it begins.
As to your questions about font and proofreading using only Braille, that
depends upon what device and software you are using. Can you tell us more
about those things so that we can better help you? We do have other
proofreaders who use only braille, but the manner in which font information
can be acquired will depend upon the hardware and software that you are
using. So, tell us what you use to proofread, and we'll help you out.
Happy proofreading.
Mayrie

But as a new proofer who uses only Braille to proofread the book, how do I
know the font changes? And I have another question, also. In the book I'm
currently proofing, there are a number of occurrence where a hyphenated word
is obviously divided between print pages, but the hyphens are being omitted
either by the scanner or something else.
I've been correcting them. Should I? Because if I understand the manual
correctly the answer is yes.
