Hi
Oh my, I wouldn't redo cookbooks, maybe if a rule is decided on in the future it could be done as books are proofread, however I understand the tediousness of doing them and so much appreciate your efforts.

Hi, Ann;

So you are saying proofreaders have to rework all recipes in cookbooks? I guess I will have to decline cookbooks then. No Bakewise in my future... I will have to let Melissa know and get it back to her. I cannot rework every recipe with mixed fractions. Cookbooks are already horrendous; that puts it way out of my reach!

Valerie, sorry to not lend her talents and eyes to cookbooks.

Hi all,

Sorry Valerie, sorry, but in order for the compound/mixed fraction to come out right in braille, it does need that dash. I have to agree with Kim here. If you put a space, it won't come out correctly in braille and may be confusing to readers.
