This is the first time I've heard about this omission rule. It seems strange to me, but, if the book says it, it is the rule! Thank, Warren. -----Original Message----- From: duxuser-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:duxuser-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Warren Figueiredo Sent: Wednesday, September 06, 2006 9:42 AM To: duxuser@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [duxuser] Re: Need assistance with quotes Duxbury is only trying to follow code. Rule II. Section 12.a.(2) of the English Braille, American Edition, Revised 2002 says: The letter sign is required when a letter which means a letter stands alone and is not followed by a period indicating an abbreviation. A letter which means a letter should be preceded only by a letter sign, and all italics, parentheses or quotation marks should be omitted, even though they are used in print. (However, see §12.b.(5).)

What is going on with that? Also, even though I have unchecked replace quotes with smart quotes in MS Word's tools under format options, I'm still sometimes getting the *99 which translates as chinin in a grade two doc. Version 10.4 had solved that problem but now it's back in 10.5.
