The word "Diana" appears at the end of the braille line along with a period and closing quotation marks. The dictionary has the syllabication broken this way Di-an-a
At the end of the braille line I don't have enough room for this entire word, so do I break up the word this way:(text) Di-
ana."OR
(text) Dian-
a."I am curious as to why you are breaking the word apart ... if you are doing so as an "agency decision" in using every available cell, then either way is accetable. If you are dividing the word apart as part of your certificationl manuscript, you no longer have to divide words at the end of a line, so I would not divide it at all.

I am so sorry Jana, I am breaking the word apart because it appears at the end of the Braille line a only a few of the letters to the word will fit. Yes this is for my manuscript so I would not use the first example or the second example listed above in my original post, or do you think that I should bring the whole name to the beginning of the next line as you have suggested?
