Thanks Julie but these characters are still not making the double dots 3-5 that
I'm seeing and neither is the tilde on the keyboard. It may be a waste of time
but if there is anything we can do while scanning to improve the resulting
braille quality, I would like to do it. I did a book where a number of words
were in italics because they were foreign words and realized how much it would
improve the quality of the book if the reader knew this.

It's done with the star symbol, or the number 8 with the shift key. That's
how I've always done it. Sorry I didn't understand what you meant the first
time. <smile> Take care.

I know what it is in braille but what I want to know is what print symbol
generates itt. It is my understanding that asterisk in print is shown by the
type of script used. Maybe Cindy can step in here if this is not the case. In
this particular book, the sign I'm talking about often comes between two
quotes.

I am currently reading The Black Tower by P.D. James and several times
I have seen in braille dots 3-5 two together. Would anyone like to hazard a
guess as to what print symbol this represents. Is there any way we as scanners
can create braille symbols that Duxbury will understand? I try very hard to
eliminate such things as caret, tilde, etc. etc. as they will be written out. I
am using Kurzweil 10.3 to scan.
