Peter The file that caused the problem is attached. However I need to amend what I have said slightly. I used Word2Tex, as I usually do, to change the file into a .tex file that SN will read. I did not check the SN file before using DBT and got the result I mentioned. Looking more closely at the WORD original the A was italic not the closing bracket. In SN this came out as the opening bracket in text the A and the closing bracket in Math and hence the result I got in DBT. I should have spotted this fact so apologies for giving a false impression of the problem. I was going into SN because of all the mathematics that was in the WORD file in MathType and the route I follow gets that into reasonable braille mathematics. However, if you ignore the mathematics issues and just got straight into DBT from the files I have attached the The results of going straight into DBT The version with (A) in bold gives 7..,a.'.17.' And the version witgh (A) in non bold gives .7.,a.17.' Whereas I would expect (A) to be 7;,a7 as happens in other files. So there must be something rather peculiar about the two WORD files that I have attached. I have looked at them but cannot see what would cause such peculiar results.

I have just had (A) translated as 7,a> rather than 7,a7 I could not understand why until I realised that the closing bracket was in italics by mistake. However I am not sure why DBT translated this as it did.
