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. ----- Original Message ----- From: Julie Morales To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, February 01, 2006 8:27 PM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: for braille readers Hi, Jill. That's the asterisk. Take care. Julie Morales Life is a gift from God.

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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ No virus found in this incoming message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
