Yes, and that's why I do read carefully any file I'm working
on--whether it originated as a pdf or I cut and paste or whatever.

Steve, thank you so much for reminding everyone of that. That is the single
most problematic training issue I face in my work. People use cut and paste so
much for everything that they seem to believe it really will work all the time
for braille. I tell my students that once they've pasted that chunk of text
into Duxbury, they need to edit the file line by line to find any weird
formatting caused by the paste.

Yes, but you have to be careful with cut-and-paste as it often destroys
formatting.
