It's UEB with uncontracted Spanish with Spanish language symbols (Method 3). The table itself I'm doing stairstep, so the first column is 1-1 and column with the word lists are 3-3. I was just thinking since the info at the top states "the irregular forms are boldface," they are referring to individual words from the list.
I'm probably overthinking it. I guess I can't go wrong following the rules. 🙂
Thanks,

Thank you, Patrick (and Cindi). It really helps to get confirmation (rather than working hour after hour thinking, "Really? Am I doing this right???").

And, I just realized that for the example I gave, my margins would actually be 11-15 and 13-15. Yikes.
Laurie
Oh, and I forgot to ask about the inverted question marks that start some entries. Do I use the first letter beyond the 3-cell symbol, or just begin the question mark with the beginning of the other entry words?
Thanks,
Laurie
Second try:
Not sure why that didn't come through correctly. Now I can't find a way to show underline in this post. My issue is, the area I'm showing in bold below is shown underlined in print. What would be the correct way to transcribe that in a UEB with Nemeth transcription?
17. Rounded to the nearest integer, what is the minimum speed that puts a car in the top 3% of all cars traveling on that highway?

Cindi,
You hit the nail on the head. It always bugs me to transcribe print errors thinking the reader will assume it's a braille error.
Those are some excellent examples for the Transcriber's Notes page!
Thank you,
Laurie
I think that makes sense (from a braille formatting perspective). The math, for me, not so much. 😉 That is the end of Example E. I attached more of the page to show what's next.
Thank you again!
Laurie
Well, I'm back. 🙂 I'm attaching another example. Example D is the same as the previous sample I sent, so it will be the same formatting. However, Example E is just the opposite. At first glance, it looks like special margins are required, but the last line prohibits that. In that case, I will use 3-5 margins for the displayed math here too. Now I'm concerned about consistency so am wondering if I can and should include the general omission symbol to the left of the equal signs for the 4 middle lines of math. It feels strange to do that, but these are all examples of the same type of calculations.
I included the paragraph that explains what is being demonstrated. I think they don't repeat the missing side because they are mimicking what one would do if they were calculating this on paper.

Hi Lindy,
I have the hard copy print, so there's nothing missing. You're right, they should have included the cancellation marks in print.
I like your solution! That works for me.
Thanks!
Laurie
