Cindy, This is actually one of those occasions like the quotes where people using speech or Braille to read the book has an advantage over a sighted person. 1 and I sound differently and aren't similar in Braille. Of course volunteers have to actually read the book when validating for it to make a difference.

When I find it once, I do a find and replace, replacing, one at a time, space 1 space with space I space. I do it carefully, though, one replacement at a time rather than a global replace, in case the number is supposed to be there, which happens rarely, but still. And if, as in the book I'm doing now, the 1 is instead of the I in a set of capital letters (acronym for an organiztion) I find and replace that, too.
