Hi Jamie, I don't know whether the actual degrees sign is translated into braille correctly. But I think you are doing the right thing by putting it in by hand. From my experience, it's not safe to assume that the braille translator will translate those higher Ascii characters. Granted, it's been upggraded not too long ago, but, I still think it's safer to do what you are doing.

Does the degree sign translate in the braille conversion? If I have to hand type parts of cookbooks I just type degrees instead of inserting a sign. -- Jamie in Michigan Currently Reading: Love Mercy by Earlene Fowler See everything I've read this year at: www.michrxtech.com/books.html
