Monica,

I'm curious as to how superscript reads in Jaws. In
the sentence in the page Terra sent me to look at, the
letters e a r in the word year were in subscript,
i.e., small and raised above the line, as footnotes
often are in books. People have written here that they
prefer to have footnote numbers written on the line
after the period in the sentence, and without
parentheses (all this detail for newbies) so I assume
that superscript numbers are read differently in Jaws
or braille or both. How would parts of a word read?

I will say, for Terra, she's persistent and
courageous. This is only her second validation effort,
and based on the page she sent me, there are lots of
different kinds of problems. She's going to learn a
lot from this one book. smile
