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.

        Hey all,


        I'm coming across a bunch of fractions for recipes in the book that I'm 
proofing.  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
