Yes, you follow print for word division at the end of a print line. You do need to follow the rules for contractions though - see Section 10.13.11 of the UEB Rule book which says that the sion and tion contractions could not be used in these situations.

You are correct that the 2 cells you are leaving on the left side of the paper do not count for indentions. Your program should automatically account for that...it's not something you need to think about or consider. The margin you want to start in for an indented paragraph is cell 3.

A Nested List would work well for this (if you are not doing it as a tactile). See the attached .jpg for braille.

Since you have found such variance in your answers from people, let me check with the committee and I will provide an answer in the next day or so.

There are no rules for print/braille books. I have some suggestions, but that is all they are - suggestions. I hope they help! Cindi
- Vary where you place the labels - this allows for less thickness for the book as a whole when it is done. You can place the labels over text or pictures - wherever it seems most appropriate for the page.
- Round the corners of the labels - they don't get caught on things as easily and tend to stay on the page better.
- I'm not exactly sure what you mean for "text in pictures" but we will sometimes treat dialog as regular paragraphs or else do them as cartoons or picture captions - it really depends on what the print looks like.
I think this should be addressed with NFB or NLS as they are the administrators of the test. When you are doing a test (regardless of the agency it is for) you must follow the testing agencies rules/policies. Personally, I do think that following the 2016 Formats rules should be allowed...but NBA is not the testing agency. My suggestion is to submit a formal protest and see if that gets you any answers/clarification.
I am sorry for this confusion.

There are no rules that really cover this. My suggestion would be to do a simple tactile graphic to show the progression of the large concepts (the larger headings only) and then list the rest of the material. A well-written transcriber's note could also be used to explain the progression (if a tactile would not be the first choice for whatever reason). Either way, use list format for the main parts of this text.

You can ignore it. If that makes you uncomfortable, put a TN on the TN page that explains it and that you are ignoring it. 🙂

No; you do not add items to the print table of contents. Braille it as it appears in print. You will still have those pages in your braille document - and should note those pages on the title page - but follow print for the contents.
