This sounds to me like the same kind of situation in which there is a
picture that is essential for understanding the text. That picture needs to be
described by the submitter. It seems to me that instead of just spelling out
the word in brackets it would be appropriate to type the words submitter's
note in the brackets with a colon and then follow with an explanation of how
the page was laid out and what you have done to clarify it.

Good morning!
I have a question. Doug and I are working on a children's book and it
relies
on some visual cues within some pages. On a couple of the pages it has the
first letter of the word of each line separated by a space from the rest of
its word so that when you look at the page vertically you see a message. In
other words, there is an intentional space so that you get a message when
you look at the word from top to bottom. Obviously a blind reader would
lose
this message and I am wondering how to best handle it. My immediate thought
is to leave it intact, but after considerable thought, I am thinking about
putting a bracketed message at the top of the page and simply making the
first letter either or both bold or larger, but eliminating the space so
that it reads as a word or plays as a word when using text to speech.
Feedback will be greatly appreciated so that I can modify it appropriately
to submit to the collection.
Thanks!
Valerie
