Thanks for that info about em dashes no longer needing to be converted to 2
dashes. though it's an easy find and replace all, it's one less thing to do,
and every second counts smile
Cindy--how did you test it? find a book in the collection? (just curious)

Hi Bob,
Optional hyphens are not em dashes. Optional hyphens are
hyphens that were in the print book when a line on the page ended, but didn't
need a hyphen at that point otherwise.
And em dashes no longer need to be converted to double
hyphens. I tested it and it's true.

I thought you converted optional hyphens (—) to two dashes
(--).

There is another quirky arrow (not just a straight line),
called an optional hyphen, and those you DO delete. Maybe those are what
you are thinking of or have seen, Cindy. I would be interested in
learning how it is identified in Braille or by speech.

I am thinking the right pointing error is a
tab, and would be replaced by a space unless you want your material
formatted as a table, then it can be used for creation of a table.
If you are in Word and not wanting to make a table, do a find
and replace by putting ^t in the first box and a single space in
the
second.
HTH!

something you need to eliminate. In word you just replace all of
the ^l with a space, unless it's truly where a paragraph ends
then
you replace it with ^p.
But usually it's a temporary line
break so that it looks like the print book, but is very annoying
in braille and needs to be
eliminated.
