Hi Jessica,

There's an easier way to do it without setting a new default keyboard entry grade. Michele, while you're in the document, in this case your budget document, just hit backspace with j (on the BT) to change the Braille grade to computer Braille. Then just type in computer Braille, and if you want to switch back to grade 2, just hit backspace b.

You need to go to the options menu and set your keyboard input
grade to computer braille to do math symbols. In computer braille
there are math symbols instead of contractions.  For example the
ing contraction when typed out in computer braille is a plus
sign.

Subject: [Braillenote] Maths Braille Signs In Grade 2?

Hi listers.  When one is using grade 2 Braille on the BN and
wants to use such signs as plus and equals, does one have to
revert to grade 0 Braille or another code? When I try to use dots
5-6 and dots 2-3-5 for plus sign, it comes out as ;! (semi-colon
exclamation mark).  Since I am trying to write up a budget on my
BN and present it to a financial counsellor, I want my
calculations to look comprehensible.

Any advice, either on or off list,  would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Michele
