Hi Debbie When you entered these codes did you actually type [q~@]? If so, that's why the full code is showing. You must first type control+[. That will prepare your document with the opening and close brackets and then you type the q~@ between those and press enter. You will not see the code in the document if you do it this way.

Will these disappear when the file is embossed?? Thanks for your help and your patience. Between drills!!! and a few disagreements in here this morning, maybe I'm just a little dense. <g< Deb B. -----Original Message----- From: duxuser-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:duxuser-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of George Bell Sent: Wednesday, March 19, 2003 6:16 AM To: duxuser@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [duxuser] Re: How to make a dot 4 in Duxbury Hi Debbie, I prefer one of these pneumatic drills they use to dig up roads when I'm trying to reach the inner sanctom of a client's brain, more especially if they have a hang over! (Big smile) If you do NOT want the @ to appear in the print version, put the code [ifbrl] immediately in front of the [q~@] code. For the benefit of others, [ifbrl] is used for what is only to appear in braille, and [ifprt] for what is only to appear in print. (Can I turn the drill off now, Debbie?)
