Hello Ann: I forgot to mention in my last posting, if you want to separate the transcriber's note from the text that precedes and follows it, type the following code: [sc1:0] This code must be entered following the [l] code in the "Beginning Codes" edit field and it must be entered before the [l] code in the "ending Codes" edit field.
