[nabs-l] Question about Readers

[Vejas]

Hi,
No, I use my  Braillenote Apex to read them, because I prefer the flexibility of being able to read with my fingers. I'm thinking that the conversion into Word would fix this, since I have never encountered an issue like this on Word.

I don't know if this is because it is  a table, or why this happens, I wonder if this issue can be avoided by saving it in a word format?
