Thank you but that's not the problem or the question. I have sighted help and have copied the sentence. My question is, this is going to make a real change in the print copy so the sighted reader (dyslexic etc.) will miss the way it looks in the book entirely. This is why I am asking how others are dealing with this issue. But thanks again for your offer. You know I won't hesitate to ask you for help when I need it; you are always so generous.

What is the book, Jill? If I can get it, I can send you the sentence italicized.G.Cindy --- On Sat, 7/5/08, Jill O'Connell <jillocon@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote:From: Jill O'Connell <jillocon@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: [bksvol-discuss] italics To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: Saturday, July 5, 2008, 3:55 PM I have been following the discussion on the list about making italics but have done nothing about it so far; this is partly because Kurzweil does such a good job reading them and although it would be nice, I didn't think it was all that important making the italics available in braille since they wouldn't be shown in the speech version either. Now, however, I am confronted with an example that Kurzweil can't read and it's fairly long. I can retype it but, of course, the effect will be lost for the sighted reader. I would really welcome being told what others are doing in similar situations. I think it is virtually impossible to accommodate the three readinggroups who use Bookshare. I wonder how the staff doing scanning would handle this situation. Any comments would be welcome.
