Hi Maria,

I did some Z- & T-tables etc a few months ago. (I can check tomorrow if I still have Braille files that might be useful for you.)

One issue is that Duxbury (most common Braille translation software) has several ways of handling tables. The default method for large tables is to treat each cell as an individual unit, repeating the row/column titles *each time*. This produces the giant files you mentioned.
I (& our student) found it to be more effective to just have the Z value numbers, arranged in a systematic way. (Sometimes "rotating" the table 90 degrees made it more intelligible, or removing other visual info like repeated column headers.)
