h1: Use this style for headings, such as chapter titles. "h1." corresponds with the "Heading 1" style in MS Word.

list: Use this style for lists.

note: This paragraph style is used for footnotes, and indents the paragraph to the fifth cell.

This style does not translate English into Spanish, but allows a person who knows American braille to translate Spanish print words into braille appropriately according to BANA (braille Authority of North America) rules.
