Oh, silly me! Guess I should have looked before asking the question! I just
assumed it would be complicated. :)
Thanks Mayrie.

Hi Donna,
I'm not Evan, but I can tell you how to convert the table to text in Word.
Place your cursor in the table, anywhere in the table.
Pres Alt+a to enter the table menu.
Tab through until you find "convert to text".
Hit enter.
You will then be given a way to choose what to replace the tabs with.
If you choose spaces, then tab to "ok" and hit enter, you'll be good to go.
Happy converting!
Please write again if I have forgotten a step, or your dialogue contains
something different from what I describe.
I'm writing from memory here, so may have missed something.
Mayrie

That's kind of what I was thinking, Evan. Do you know if there's an easy
way to do that in Word?
Tia,

I think you should convert it to text. If you leave it as a table, the
braille translator will put each element of it on a separate line. Won't
look so good and will make for a lot more scrolling on the braille display
if it remains a table.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] question re formatting and tables
Hi all,
I'm proofing a book where the table of contents spans two pages. The first
page of it is formatted as a table, the second page as just text. I'm
wondering what to do with this. I've never submitted a book with a table,
so I guess my first question is what is the bookshare process going to do to
this table? I'm especially thinking about the braille copy here. Guess my
basic question is, should I leave the part of the table of contents that is
in a table as a table, or should I do something else with it?
Thanks,
Donna
