A couple of words I am not able to read / transcribe. Errors left as per script. Also I cannot underline the figures as per original transcript. Is there a way to underline in this programme ?

Emily@WFU

Yes! That formatting is difficult. I may return to review. For now we will use these conventions for underlines:

"If a word is underlined, type the word followed by [underlined]. For a series of underlined words, write [underlined] after each. For a sentence, type the sentence followed by [sentence underlined]."
