I have been embossing jumbo braille on a Juliet for 8 ish years.  The setup isn't that difficult, but I no longer have the instructions how to do the setup.  I also recall that I have to run the embossing job from the command line else it doesn't emboss correctly otherwise.

Thank you Cindy.

And the typeform indicator story continues ... (see new attachment with more bold and more italic). {Sorry the delay, rain storm in Tacoma knocked me offline for a bit!?}.

1 - Hadn't thought of that. Instead of 1-5, 3-5, I would use 1-7, 3-7, 5-7. I can do that to eliminate the blue typeform problem in the contents.  (Other bold followed by italic issues occur later in the 'Categorized' area, see below.)

2 - On print page 135, I see the "ANALYZING ... CASES" as a centered heading followed on the next line by the double cap AND the italic "PLESSY v. ..." (all legal cases in this print book use the same double cap "ANALYZING ..." and double cap italic font for '[LONG CASE NAME]' as shown in the first attachment).  I have some braille baggage (thank you Ed Godfrey) that says not to use both italic and double cap. Does UEB or BF2017 have a rule about italics and the names of court cases? With a bit of thought, could I box "ANALYZING ..." above the box line, terminate double caps, box line, double cap italic name, no cap no italic "v.", double cap italic FERGUSON?

Note: there are 11 "Interactive Analyzing Supreme Court Cases" (note the caps there, in the 'Categorized Table of Contents' [BF2016 2.10.13] and not attached here) that have single cap and italic case names, and four "Interactive Analyzing Supreme Court Cases" that have single cap and italic case names (in the 'categorized' area and newly attached here), along with several other instances in the 'Categorized' area of a bold something followed by an italic something, most of which I have already figured out how to format.

Thank you Cindi.  Now that I reread, I see how made an assumption and was wrong about 8.3.5 b and c.

Thank you Cindi.  The headings are now keyed and the grouping symbols are now drawn.  Attached is a PDF mock-up with two different representations of the grouping symbols.  I just have to decide which drawn grouping symbol is easier to read.

In Chemistry Code, fractions containing cancellation with no replacement symbols may be transcribed linearly. (Section 2.7) This should solve your dilemma.

Hi.
If you follow standard table guidelines, this will be easy to read and will take up 4 pages. If you are allowed to make this into a foldout, that would be nice.

I have attached a different approach from yours. See what you think of it.

I see "Typische Elements" as a column heading.
Place it over the first two columns.
I am being creative with the use of a single column separation line over the two columns that fall under this heading.

Ignore the vertical line between columns. Use 2 spaces between columns as with any table.

A series of dot 5s across the width of a column should show the blank space (no entry) which will demonstrate the fact that the first three columns begin in row 11.

Follow print and use a 2-cell dash for the dashes in print.

Braille a full cell for the question marks. NC Sec.57. The full cell should be spaced as in print which in this case seems a little unclear whether that is a space, so I have shown it unspaced. I think it reads best unspaced in braille here.

The (cont.) footer should not appear on the first page of the table. BF 11.3.2.c

Write a TN alerting the reader to the fact that the table is divided vertically into four sections, explaining the dot 5s, and --although not required-- I would also explain that the full cells represent the print question mark.

Thank you Joanna, I always appreciate the help.

Your suggestions will be used to rework this graphic/table and the needed TN. Particularly helpful were your comments "... repeated from the graphic itself" and "wide table strategies".

[brlbyrussell]

I'm unable to give a meaningful response because I don't understand this table. I am unfamiliar with the subject matter and terminology and of course I don't have the book to use as orientation. I think the column headings at the very top of the graphic might also extend down to the print table, but I can't even tell that. I suspect that his what you mean when you say the graphic is attached to the table.

Please describe in a few sentences what the relationship is here as you see and then I can possibly provide feedback regarding your treatment in braille.

I add a USB keyboard (Microsoft comfort 4000) with the MS drivers. You may need to call HP or other supplier sales support and ask if they can guarantee nth key rollover for their keyboard.

Anyone else have a solution?
