Hi Valerie,
My guess is that they won't look like em dashes. My screen reader shows two
hyphens, not the other thing that I see when there is an em dash.
Sorry! But our braille readers will never have to see a hyphen again where
there should have been an em dash! That made for truly annoying reading, at
least it was annoying to me. And I couldn't stand the idea that children
might think that an em dash and a hyphen are the same thing. Talk about
opposites!
So happy! But sorry you can't have your em dashes. How about pretending
you're reading typing from an old type writer? Those didn't have em dashes
either! Just trying to help, offer some consolation.

Yippee! I wonder if they will still look like em dashes to sighted readers;
that would be sweet!
Anything that makes life simpler is appreciated, although that one is now
almost second hand to me. Wink.

Hi Everyone!
I don't know if all of you have discovered this, but I just did recently.
New folks won't be as interested, but any of you old-timers like me who have
been converting em dashes in your rtf files to two hyphens can now stop!
The braille translator now knows how to process em dashes properly! I've
checked and rechecked, so this isn't a false alarm!
One less thing to worry about!
Hope I'm not the only one who is insanely thrilled with little progresses
like this!
Happy scanning and proofreading to all of you, and happy, happy New Year!
I'm a huge fan of fresh starts, so this upcoming holiday is one of my
favourites.
Best to all of you,
Mayrie
