Thanks, Kellie.
I was going to leave them as they were, but now I am in doubt because while the
double dagger is displayed on my Pac Mate as dots 2-3-4-6, the single dagger
doesn't show anything on the Braille display. If I arrow over it, it will say
'single dagger', but the Braille display just shows a space. Probably Duxbury
is better than the Braille translator in my Pac Mate, but how do I know? Just
to be safe, I think I will go back to the numbering approach I had originally
considered.

Hi Evan,
Oh for complicated! <lol> I think this is a case where just about anything
you do will be okay. I think personally I would go with the numbered footnote
approach--I know that's not what's in the original print, but I think these are
graphical publishing devices meant to make the book work well for people, and
if Ocr software isn't conducive to enabling that outcome then you wouldn't' be
trampling authorial prerogative by finding an alternative that doesn't change
the meaning of what is being conveyed.
People will have different opinions on this, and like I said I think even
just leaving them as they are would be okay. So do whatever makes the most
sense to you as a creative logical human. <grin>
I'm still jealous of that Opticon!
Kellie
