Barb,
I understand this can be difficult. I try to keep at least the capital on the first word. Can you share the key words you have picked as your running head? Can they be abbreviated? Sometimes there are no other choices to maintain the 3 cells on either side of the running head.
Connie
Rodney,
It doesn't matter which line the heading starts on as long as the first item in its entirety can fit on that page. Therefore, the rule would apply to your example. Thank you for your question.
Connie
Julie,
That does not show up on my PDF. I understand it is a lot of information but it is not a footnote. It would still follow the format of a letter with that being a blocked heading. I think with it being blocked on the right side of the page will assist the reader in guiding them to the heading of the article quickly if they want to skip through the header.
Thank you for clarifying,
Connie
Julie,
I believe you are referring to the "Further Information". You would follow UEB rules 13.8 and follow the order as in print. The reader does not need that information before reading the material in the letter that precedes it.
Connie
Thank you Mary for the question.
This update would apply only to the situations when text requires that a blank line follows. In the two examples that you provided follow rules 4.3.1 for Example 1 and 7.2.1 for Example 2 starting each on line 1 since there is no running head.
Connie
Rodney,
The rule would apply here and the boxes would be omitted. The instructions and format assist the student and this is not expendable material.
One scenario in text where material mentions boxes that is maintained in braille is when it refers to a section of text such as a side bar or boxed material within text material that needs to be set apart.
Hope this helps,
Connie
Rodney,
I do not see any attachment. Can you please try to attach again and if needed you can send the attachment to me at cstone@nationalbraille.org.

Thank you Kyle, I am glad you included even when embedded within text in your answer because even though that has not occurred for me yet, that would have been a follow-up question.
Thank you Lindy, I agree with the "Gain" and moving to cell 1 so that there is less divisions.
There are some times when it will fit on one line, such as
y:=7x+2
So to clarify, in this equation, there would only be one space following the equal sign?
Connie
Thank you.
So, what about an arrow? In Nemeth, it begins with the shape indicator, so would it also need to be Nemeth or a tactile? I am sending an example of one along with the boxes. I see arrows in regular text simply meaning next step but could not find an example at the moment of this type.
Clarify for me the spacing for the colon used as "such that". An Introduction to Braille Mathematics Using Nemeth Code within UEB Contexts 6.7.16a states that a space would follow the colon in braille when used as "such that". I have looked to see if there is an update to remove the space following but I cannot find one.
My thought for the colon followed by an equal sign is putting these two symbols together without a space. The attached document shows the explanation from the text. I had wondered about putting the dot 5 between them to show they are horizontally.
I agree with you on the double-struck letters and will check through the book on that idea to see what is the best font to change to.
