Make sense to me. The tabs will vanish, The way I do tables is group the "rows" together, and say at the beginning what the different "columns are called. Then list each row, individually. The person can refer to the titles to identify which column and row they are in. Smile. That is what I do and is usually how I have seen braillists do it. Shelley L.

I've got quite a few in the book I'm validating - I'm using a library copy of the printed book because the scanned version is all goofed up, as I would expect. But what I'm doing is using tab stops and recreating a table in tabular form. Will this work for folks? If not, what should I be doing? She says, halfway through the book and hadn't thought of asking before now! Also, I'm wondering what screen readers will do with this quote from an 18th century midwife.
