Hi Anne,
Did you have View: Codes on (Alt + F3) in DBT when you were looking for this in
the file in DBT BEFORE it was translated?
If you did, then the important thing is to enter the Code correctly, as a Code,
into the "Text to find:" field.
Let us suppose the Code you wish to replace is [q~d]
With your Cursor in the "Text to find:" field, hold down the left Alt key and
press left square bracket.
(I only say "left Alt key for the benefit of many international users whose
right Alt key does a different function)
This should bring up a pair of square brackets with your cursor sitting between
them.
Now type q~d or whatever you have in the Code you are looking for. Do NOT type
the brackets.
Make sure you press right arrow to move your cursor to the end of that line,
and fully outside the Code.
Move to the "Replace with:" field, and enter whatever you wish to replace with.
Press OK.
George.

It wasn't visible in the print document. It showed up as a q code but when I
did a search and replace for the exact code that showed up in the braille
document, it was not found.

Ann,
You'd probably have better luck figuring out the symbol from the print document
if you had it. You might try back-translating the braille file just to see
what you'd get, but that might not be the original character as
back-translation doesn't always yield accurate results. However, if you can
find the actual print symbol, you can copy and paste it into the Find edit box
of the Find/Replace dialog and replace it with nothing to get rid of it.
Steve

My document is about 480 pages in braille. Someone put a code in that results
in the following being sprinkled throughout the document. Neither search and
replace or find will recognize it. I'm using version 11.3. The symbos consist
of dots 3,6 dots 3,6 dots 5,6
