Hi Judy S.!How would I best go about putting enough periods in the table of contents? Should I right justify the page numbers in the table of contents and then fill in the periods, or what?

I agree with Valerie. It is a torture to figure out tables of contents visually with just the single space. I'm perfectly happy with an ellipsis instead of the space, as an idea. I can't see any way that trying to figuour out how many periods to put in to make the right margin on each line, as is done with a printed book, will make sense or be anything but a nightmare to do if you're blind. Having an ellipsis in makes it perfectly readable for me visually.Golly, I hope I'm making sense. I had some major dental surgery today and we had to use enough anesthesia to bring an elephant down. So I'm a bit loopy! grin.Judy s.

I'm happy to change, as you are, but not willing to make a permanent change until or unless it is commented upon by more than one person. Vallerie, Doug, Judy, anyone else who is print disabled, but sighted want to comment on this?

Should I insert elipses in the table of contents in "Rebel With a Cause"? It wouldn't be a bother. Debby At 07:50 AM 11/3/2009, Mayrie ReNae wroteHi Melissa, That's a great idea! Let's see if it would work for folks like Valerie's Nichole, since Valerie was the one requesting a change. If it would work, I don't see how it would go against anything bookshare hasever said.Mayrie -----Original Message----- From: bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Melissa Smith Sent: Tuesday, November 03, 2009 5:07 AM To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Table Of Contents I've been thinking about Valerye's concerns about the table of contents. I got to thinking about how Braille books have a series of dots between the chapter title and page number. So, I was wondering if inserting an ellipses between the chapter title and page number would be an appropriatesolution.An ellipses will be recognized and kept by bookshare's tools, and will give some separation between chapter title and page number for those that need that. It wouldn't be spoken by most screen readers, so wouldn't interfere with anybody's listening pleasure. Finally, since Braille readers are used to the series of dots between chapter title and page number, it wouldn't seem unusual to them either. So, do you think this would be acceptable and not violate any bookshare rules?
