Great question!
There is no exception for exercise material. The source citation will immediately follow 3b with no blank line.
Begin the course citation in cell 9 rather than cell 10. I know it can be confusing. Formatting is almost always an odd-numbered cell. When it states that sources begin in the 5th cell to the right of the previous line, that does not mean 5 blank cells. In your sample, cells 5-8 are blank and cell 9 is the 5th cell.
Look at the cell count before each item below:
1-2-b. text text text text text (3-5)
1-2-3-4-runover text runover text. (cell 5 for the runover)
1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-Source (9-9)
I hope that helps.
Thanks for your question.
In the first volume, you will only include pages that are transcribed within that volume. The table of contents pages (which will later appear in future volumes) are accounted for in their respective volumes. So, they are ignored in volume 1.
Your page numbers in the first volume and on the title page will be something like: i-biv, xi-xx, and 1-...
In Volume 2, your page numbering will begin with v or whatever page from the TOC is in that volume.
Subsequent volumes will have the next applicable TOC page.
So when the transcription is complete, ALL the print pages will have been accounted for.
The question is on the borderline between Braille Formats and the UEB Rules. So, because "lists" are mentioned; we will say this is Braille Formats. Because several items in a list are completely italicized, your friend is correct about the application of UEB 9.9. Look at the following example. Note that the first title below contains text that is not part of the title.
[open] The First President,[Close] co-written by Dr. J.E. Abrams
[open] Executive Orders
[open] 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue
[open] The Election of 1800 [Close]
Do you have an example to share? Is there a particular list of titles that is giving you trouble?
Braille Formats does not address this situation directly. Instead, look at sample 2-21 (page 2-50). In the sample Prentice Hall is used as the publisher's name in the corresponding braille. But it is part of a larger company, Simon & Schuster/Viacom.
However, the key to your situation is the print title page. In Sample 2-21, Prentice Hall is not only part of the title, but it is shown to be the publisher at the bottom of the print title page. Simon & Schuster does not appear.
So, with your book, look at the print title page (not the copyright page). What is the text at the bottom of that page? It is ordinarily the publisher's name and/or logo.
Great question!
The text is an epigraph. The guidelines state to omit font attributes unless needed for distinction.
In this situation, it was decided that the words "Nocturnal Spectator" are being emphasized by NOT being in italics.
In braille, we "reverse emphasize" words in this situation.
For Perky Duck or any other software questions, go to the Computer-Assisted Transcription forum. The moderator is James Williams. If he does not know the answer, I am sure he will find it for you. In the list of Ask the Expert categories, it is just below the Braille Formats Forum.
Would the ordinary method be this: (if it fits)
<p style="text-align: left;">Centered: Company B</p>
Blank linecell 1: Nemeth Switch
cell 1: Cost$
cell 1: Graph
aligned per GSTG: Number of Shirts
Blank
cell 1: Nemeth Switch
I should have posted this weeks ago. I found the answer. Under Options/Text/Paragraph Text: Check "Expand and shrink paragraph text frames to fit text"
This will automatically expand the text boxes without moving the text on the page.
Thank you to the awesome Betty Marshall for advice at the conference last fall!
I got an error message on the NBA site that said I am not allowed to upload this file type. It is a corel draw file.
Attached is one of the files in question. The labels on the numbers lines show correctly on my computer. For the producer, the text boxes were red and the text did not show.
