Check these items before turning in your document
file for brailling.
Convert symbols, icons, and other abbreviations to
text
Omit the use of "number" (#) signs because
they are automatically inserted in front of numbers in braille.
Do not include extra blank lines in your text.
Indicate new paragraphs with the use of one tab.
Determine what commands your braille software reads
from your word-processed version. In the Adaptive Tech Lab the commands
are: center, tab, indent, (hard) return, and page break.
Convert columns to continuous text. Tables, graphics,
and pictorial representations need to be converted to text.
Eliminate the use of stylistic factors such as bold
type, underlining, and special symbols. Italics are the only stylistic
type form that typically translates into braille formats.
Use both upper and lower case letters in words; the
use of all upper case, for example, doubles the pages or space needed
for the braille.
Convert any bullets used in the text to an asterisk
(*) or a hyphen
