Hi Sandy,
Thanks. That's what I decided to do--put the name at the first instance and
initials thereafter.
The only way the bold or italicized text really works for speech users is to
have your screen reader change pitch, but you can only do that (as far as I
know) for all font changes not individual ones. And I'm not even sure you
can do it with the daisy readers.
Anyway, I think we have a good solution.
Deborah

Hi Debra,
Sometimes in Braille, it works to have one person's information in italics
and one not--e.g., the question in italics and the answer in plain font.
Another thing that is sometimes done is Q. and A. at the beginning of
appropriate lines. I guess what I like about the initials is that it
reminds one who is speaking. That's usually done by writing the last name
out the first time each person speaks, then using initials after that.
Just a couple of other suggestions.
Sandi
