Hello, Jean,
I had this problem recently.
Type "/_" (slash, underline) before the
contraction's text, and type "_/" (underline,
slash) after the contraction's text.
For example: My DBT 10.7 SR1 wasn't contracting
the final three letters of "provelone". So, I
edited the word to "provel/_one_/", and it
produced dot-5, O at the end of the word.
By the way, "/_ _/" is in the F5 code list.
Hope this works in your more current DBT version.

Working with the BANA Word template, version
1.11 SR 4 and UEB. What is the code to use to
force a contraction? I have a vague recollection
it has to do with slashes, but I canât find it.
The reason for wanting this is I have an
italicized group of two words followed by an
unspaced dash and more text. DBT is putting the
italic passage indicator in front of the first
word, and the end italic passage after the
second word. Thatâs not right. Complicating
this is that these words are bacteria names, and
DBT recognizes them as Latin and wants to
uncontract them. The agency wants them
contracted. Therefore, I need to enter the italic codes as Exact Translation
. But DBT is still uncontracting the words.
If I could remember that shortcut for forcing
contractions, it would save me looking up those
SymBraille exact contraction characters for the rest of the word.
