    The file did not upload.  Can you try again?

    After much deliberation and discussion, we are (mostly) agreed that the passage would need to be terminated and restarted after the footnote.

    Thanks for being patient.  Sorry it took so long!

    My suggestion is to do a nested list format.  Put the menu items (using emphasis as shown in print) in 1-5 and then put the personal column in 3-5 and the calzone/stromboli column in 3-5.  Do a TN explaining this change to the print format.

    This is an already identified error in BF 2016.  The rule is stated in 2.10.3b and the samples are all incorrect as the tn indicators did not get inserted.  This will be corrected before the final version is published.

    This is an excellent question...and I will need to seek other advice.  So give me a day or two and I will get back to you!

    I'm sorry that I did not see your follow up question.

    The technically correct format is to insert page numbers where they fall - even if they interrupt text.

    My question is, when there is a caption followed by a source citation does the source citation still get followed by a blank line if the format following the caption with source citation does not require a blank line before ie. a tabbed paragraph?

    My answer (I copied your main question from the attachment):  Yes.  The source still requires a blank line following it if it is followed by a paragraph.

    I'm attaching the document with my comments, but basically with UEB you should follow print...that includes for spacing, punctuation and roman numerals.  After saying that, know that agency decisions can be made to do things differently.  But with the onset of UEB, following print is one of the main philosophies.

    If there are no print page numbers, the title page would then not reference print page numbers.  You do show the fact that new pages begin by doing what you are already doing, adding the print page turn line with no number.  It sounds like you are doing everything just right.

    BANA is currently working on guidelines for early learning materials.

    The transcriber can decide to not include any emphasis that doesn't add any meaning...so if you feel the text adequately explains things, you do not need to include it.  Without seeing your print, I can't answer this definitively.

    Formats allows for the removal of emphasis on single letters - you can leave it off.  Especially if this is for lower grades.

    in reply to: Prefix & Suffix Contraction Usage #28260

    UEB rules say you can use contractions.

    If it's related to a spelling activity (explaining that endo- is part of the word endoscopy), Formats says no contractions.
