John,
I am glad to hear that BB will bypass the Word add-in. I have found it to be
somewhat weird in the way it places the XML tags.
Should I mention the file that adds a space and a grave accent to the
emphasized text when it is translated on the other list.
Best regards from Ohio, U.S.A.,
Vic

Hi Vic,
The emphasiks problems are being discussed on the liblouis-liblouisxml
list. BrailleBlaster will have its own importer for word documents, so
problems with the plugin won't occur. I'll get back to you later.
