I don't use Outlook, so can't double check this concept. An alternative I use
in Word is to press ctrl-z immediately after entering the quote or apostrophe.
This cancels the autotext and reverts the character to its original straight
version.

Hi James,
I always have autocorrect taken off in Word - not sure where it is in
outlook. I have tried to move the full stop in Duxbury but it does not want
me to do that. (I don't use Swift).
Thanks for the information.
Hi George, thanks for your headsup too - I am guessing this is potentially a
Duxbury issue?
John.

Hi John,
Personally, I would not remove the full stop, but perhaps position it
correctly, adjacent to the end of the vector.
Without the full stop, there may be a grammar problem which may potentially
cause some readers to try and read two sentences as one.
I think it is perfectly OK to have punctuation following maths. E.g.
"Co-ordinates A (2, 4), B (0, 1) and C (-4, 3)."
Note by the way your problem with dot 5 coming out as quotes: Try turning OFF
Word's AutoCorrect functions and you'll be fine. See Options, Proofing,
AutoCorrect: Replace straight quotes with (so-called) smart quotes.
Alternatively, if you would prefer to keep your AutoCorrect options for print
usage, then whenever you want to type dot 5, or dot 3, in Braille, then use
Unicode values instead:
22 Alt+X will yield a straight quote (that is, dot 5)
27 Alt+X will yield a straight apostrophe (dot 3).
Remember you may need space before this if the previous character(s) are
digits or letters a-f).
Hope this helps.
With best regards,
James.

Hi,
Duxbury has wonderfully correctly interpreted the vector created in MathType
(6.9a) by placing it beneath the text at the start of the sentence and the
full stop after the vector on the line below that.
The question is:
b"> ,TRANSLATE SHAPE ,A BY THE
VECTOR
,"<#B,">
,"<#D,">
4 ,LABEL THE IMAGE ,C4 .<#A
MARK.>
My question is, should I remove the full stop? There is a subsequent element
as stated - and as an aside Outlook 2013 was not playing ball with
simbraille. First thought was the keyboard - plugged a second one in and same
issue. Using Word 2013 in 'Compatibility Mode' (97-2003) no issue! Cell 5
(Shift+ F2) kept coming up with the ASCII speech marks!
