Hi Valerie. Bookshare tools do retain text-based tables nicely. I have
verified this in several books I have submitted by looking at the end result
in the daisy file. Bookshare files don't present tables exactly the way they
look to you visually in Word. What they don't do is display images, borders,
or shading as you see in Word. Daisy does support tables, and the Bookshare
tools do recognize them during processing. They look more like HTML tables
though. In your book, the checklists and tables will be retained. The tabs
and borders won't show up, and that is because daisy books don't use tabs.
They are based on a language called XML which is somewhat like what you see
in pages on the web.
The Braille version of your book will show items on a single line if a
person is using a Braille display. This is because of the limitations of the
Braille display, not in tables themselves. Most Braille displays can only
show one line of text at a time.
I hope this helps.
