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 line

cell 1:  Nemeth Switch

cell 1: Cost$

cell 1: Graph

aligned per GSTG: Number of Shirts

Blank

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.

[Chip Mize]

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.

[Chip Mize]

Yes.  It was in a batch of files, so I am asking the producer to identify which file or files.

[Chip Mize]

I didn’t see that the extracted page exceeded the file size.  See the new attachment.

The system in question is enclosed in a red rectangle.
