Cool, thanks! As I was reading this,I was thinking about the fact that I
sometimes will convert my books to .brf from the daisy form and find myself
constantly hoping for the word chapter to be present so that I can more easily
navigate.
Happy Easter,
Chris

Dear Chris,
Marty is right about not adding a ToC.
However, to aid with navigation for those using refreshable braille devices,
you can insert the word Chapter before the chapter number, Like Chapter 1 or
Chapter One.
This is an example of how anomalies evolve in the manual and training
materials. As the tools which process the books are adjusted and features like
daisy navigation are introduced our proofreading standards change to keep up.
Adding the word Chapter does for braille display navigation what bolding and
enlarging does for Daisy navigation.
Always with love,
Lissi

Hi,
thanks, it is fiction, with chapter numbers but not names, thus I am guessing
not:)!
Have a fantastic holiday,
Chris

Hi Chris,
With very few exceptions we are not allowed to add content to books. So, to
answer your question, No, you shouldn't create a ToC if it isn't in the print
book.
It might be a good idea to write to the scanner and ask her/him to double
check and make sure it wasn't missed during the scan.
Is your book fiction or non-fiction? I've noticed that almost all
non-fiction has a ToC, while a lot of fiction does not.

Hi All,
Just a quick question. If there is no ToC, do we need to create one. I
have noticed that in nearly every book I have downloaded as a reader, there is
a ToC. Thus, I was not certain if we need to make one if it is not present. I
do not mind doing it, I just did not want to make it if it is not supposed to
be there if it is not in the formal book. Hopefully that makes sense:).
happy Easter,
Chris
