    Good morning,

    This project is for a 4th grader. When there are comments to the right of the partial sums, I know one option is to create a key.  I was wondering, if, to have a more direct relationship (as opposed to needing to refer to a key of the entire expression), it would be possible to have the comments to the right of the partial sums brailled out (either as they are written or with a key for lengthier units like "hundreds" or "thousands"), which would require a runover in some cases. Because of the runover, there would be a blank line between some of the partial sums.

    Please let me know this arrangement would be a possible solution. There are quite a few of these types of problems throughout the book.  If not, I will just key the explanatory material.

    Thank you.

    Susan

    Hi Susan.

    These look like fun. I like your solution.
    A couple of observations:
    There's no need to show the words as bold unless there is significance to the typeform.
    You can place the opening Nemeth Code indicator on the same line as the closing transcriber's note indicator.
    Punctuate the words and the keyed abbreviations with a literary comma.
    Make sure all your numbers are Nemeth numbers in the lower part of the cell. (There is a 1 and a 5 that need fixing)
    I would move the problem to the left so the first cell of the separation line is in cell 1. This will give you more room for the comments.
