This is what I recall agreeing on as well. I believe it was determined that the dot leaders might not be appropriately translated by the braille translation software, and that it would be difficult for blind proofers to line up the numbers.

Hi Cindy, I thought we decided a while back that we'd begin putting a space after the chapter title, an elipsis, another space, then the page number in the table of contents. That's what I remember.

The scanner tabbed from chapter titles to page numbers. I know that tabs are deleted. I've been putting a row of periods between them (which the book itself, has, actually. I realize that if the tabs are deleted, the page number will be adjacent to the chapter title--unless I put one space between them.As a sighted person, I would find that somewhat difficult to read and would prefer that the page numbers are further from the words and lined up somewhat. But I need to know what most of you prefer. Shall I continue putting in periods and lining up the page numbers as best I can, or do you not mind having the page number right next to the chapter title?
