Hi Rick,
Regarding your query about the forward slash back
translation, I hope the following response from Duxbury will
explain things a little.
George.
Hi George,
The back-translation of the "old" literary slash (oblique
stroke) is inherently ambiguous, since the sign (dots 34) is
same as the "st" contraction and, especially when there are
letters on each side, there is really no formal difference.
The DBT tables contain a few common phrases, such as
"and/or", but apart from those cases normally translates
dots 34 as "st". Fortunately, this is changing for both
American and British Braille because the slash, at least
when embedded in letters, is being changed to dots 456,34
and that sign presents no ambiguity.

Hi Rick,
Many thanks for the details.
Ink printing can be a shade tricky to set up
initially,
since there are a number of variables which affect
what ends
up of the page. That said, I would have expected,
"Auto-determine point size for printed output" to
have
scaled the font to provide a full page.
The back translation error does indeed need to be
looked at.
I have reported both issues to Software Development.
Many
thanks for taking the trouble to point these out.
