Hi Steve,

I don't actually believe this is a "bug" as such, but I have asked for
confirmation from Duxbury.

Simply inserting codes into a DBT braille file will have no effect
because at that stage they are not designed to trigger any kind of
translation.  Forcing a back-translation will retain the code, and of
course when you translate yet again, the codes will take effect.

I think we also have to consider and appreciate that direct braille
editing is just that.  If codes were to start changing things like this,
it would then become in a way, rather like Word's annoying autocorrect
as you type.

However, if I'm entirely wrong, I have absolutely no doubt I will
receive a corrective note from Duxbury.

George Bell.

Hi everyone,

I'm using DBTW 10;4, and I think I may have found a minor bug.  While
writing a braille document, I inserted the [cbi] and [txi] codes at the
beginning and end of an Email address, but when I turned Show Codes off,
the beginning and ending computer braille indicators were not there.  I
back-translated the file to see if the codes would be brought into the
print file, and they were.  I translated the print file back into
braille, and the indicators were there as they should be.  It seems as
if the [cbi] and [txi] codes are not being processed properly in braille
documents.  I'd be interested in anyone else's experiences with this.

Steve
