[stylist] Checking Format

Formatting for the blind: The best and I believe the closest you can get, is
via a braille display. An eighty cell is what I would choose --- the print
line is also that same length. (But even for a sighted editor, passing it on
to another set of eyes and brain is a good thing.)

Dear All,
    whenever I write something for submission, I always have a sighted
person take a look at the document to ensure that there are no formatting
issues, e.g., page or line breaks where they should not be, font changes, or
changes in print color or shading, that spell check or screen reading
software does not pick up. Is there a way such things can be proofed
independently by a blind writer? Any input is greatly appreciated.

fraternally yours,
Marion Gwizdala
