Hi Betsy, Unless someone has definitive advice from BANA rules, I'd suggest one of two things. 1) A Transcriber's note to explaining how Snap!VRS appears in print and therefore braille 2) Would the following BAN rule perhaps be appropriate? APPENDIX A. 9. 9. Special Symbols Page: Include a special symbols page following the title page in each braille volume listing special symbols which are encountered in that volume. These should include: symbols which have been devised or assigned special usage; George. -----Original Message----- From: duxuser-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:duxuser-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Betsy Whitney, Dolphin Press Sent: 07 October 2008 19:04 To: duxuser-freelists.org Subject: [duxuser] How to format Aloha, I have a word Snap!VRS which is the name of a company.
