Thanks for this info, Teri. I haven't tried putting in symbols your way so
I'll try it next time.

Anne, I have to do this all the time. If you want a dot 4 to come out
as a dot 4, use the q code. I get to it by hitting f5 and hit the
letter q. It's the first q option in the list. You can also type the
code in manually of course. When the q code is highlighted in the
list, tab across to the edit box and put an at sign or shift 2 in
there. If you want it to be followed by the number sign then you just
put the number sign or shift 3 following the at sign in the edit box.
Then hit enter. When the file is translated, the @# at number sign
will be translated as dot 4 followed by dots 3-4-5-6.. Another thing
to remember is to take the at sign or numbersign out of the actual
text. The symbols will show up in the print document in the q code
brackets e.g. [q~@] I have used this as a symbol indicator. When dbt
sees some symbols e.g. plus it will automatically put the wordsfor
them, but for others it won't. So if I wanted the plus symbol to show
up I would enter in [q~@+] and when it was translated the q code would
not show up, just the dot 4 followed by dots 3-4-6.

So, Deb, did you ever get the at sign dot four with the number sign
following it, like you wanted? If so, how did you do it? I tried
several things I'd gleaned from the list and couldn't make it happen.
Isn't there some setting in DBT that will keep the words like
backslash and at from being spelled out?

Aloha Deb and all,
I thought that we were supposed to use No. for that symbol. Perhaps
someone
can enlighten me? When I looked in the English Braille American
edition,
1994, that was how I interpreted Rule VIII.b #31. It won't be the
first
time I got more confused by reading the rules... Thanks for any help.
