I spoke with the expert here at Duxbury and here's what he says:
Although it has been supported in the regular French tables for some
time, the "oe ligature" character has not been supported in the American
tables through DBT version 10.4. (It will be supported in 10.5). There are
three ways that you can substitute for that character, however, using a
global replace, to get the desired translation:
1. use the o with diaeresis (umlaut) (DUSCI value D+96), which
translates the same way in French, or
2. use "&oe" (without the quotes), which is the old way that we provided
for certain characters that couldn't be typed on a standard keyboard, or
3. use the "forcing code" [q~[], (i.e. the "q" code with "[" as a
parameter).

This is driving me nuts!
I imported French from MS Word. Using [g1][fl-lifg] codes, the French
ligature oe in the dxp file then translates to a four-cell string (3-5,
3-5,
4, 1) instead of the single cell 2-4-6.
What do I need to do to get this to translate properly?
thanks.
