Hi Pamela, unfortunately, as of my most recent knowledge, the braille translator does not handle those fraction symbols well; so the characters 1/2 and so forth are better, but it would be preferable to write them without the spaces. Thanks for taking braille readers into account.

For Braille readers, is the 1 / 2 format better than the symbol 1 over 2 in one individual space (sorry I can't make this symbol in e-mail). Any preference? Thanks for your thoughts, Pam
