Hi Kathy,

Sorry if I missed your other postings.

DBT is in fact translating this correctly according to the Spanish Style
within an English document.  As Patrick says in his response, if you
really want dot 4 e, you will have to simply leave the text in Grade 1.

George.

George, I have posted to the list a few times but have not received an
answer back to my first question.  I am trying again.  I am having
problems translating print Spanish accents to the correct format in
braille.  In my document I have written the sentence "Es este el camino
a Puebla? " and have applied the style ''spanish' correctly to the
sentence.  In the sentence however, the "e" in este has an e with the
acute accent.  When I translate to braille, everything else is in
uncontracted braille as it should be except for the letter that is
supposed to have the dot 4 in front of it.  It is translated "the'.
What might I be doing wrong?  I have tried cutting and pasting the
accent symbol from the characters list and have approached it by
entering the accent using F5 from the Layout menu.  I'm as they say in
Texas "stumped"

There is just one slight problem with trying to automate any kind of
spell checking - human error.

Some of you may have seen the following I have in the 10.4 Help files
under the Topic Spelling Checkers.

AWL WEIGHS EWES YORE SPELLING CHEQUER

Eye halve a spelling chequer
It came with my pea sea,
It plainly marques four my revue
Miss steaks eye kin knot sea.

Eye strike a key and type a word
And weight four it two say
Weather eye am wrong oar write

And eye can put the error rite

Eye have run this poem threw it
I am shore your pleased two no
Its letter perfect in it's weigh
My chequer tolled me sew.
