That's a very interesting thought and may be worth playing around with if we want to create a braille asterisk. Thank you. ----- Original Message ----- From: Sarah Van Oosterwijck To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, February 02, 2006 7:15 AM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: for braille readers I believe that an asterisk in Braille might also appear in place of a bullet. Of course a bullet isn't supposed to appear in the places you describe, but then a lot of junk is sometimes present where it shouldn't be.

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 Free Edition.
