Hi Dave
For some reason I couldn't get my text to change from Grade 2 to Grade 1 and
back by only using the g1 and g2 codes, on some of my documents it worked
and on others it didn't which was a real pain at times, just one of those
weird little things that you can't explain I guess.

In actual fact, if you are switching from grade 2 to grade 1 by
entering the code manually, then you need only use the [g1] code to
switch to grade 1 braille.
Likewise, when you want to switch back to Grade 2, you need only use
the [g2] code to switch back to grade 2 braille.
Personally, I think that the [tx] code is surplus to requirements and
therefore is not necessary in the majority of cases. Put it this way,
I do not use the [tx] code in addition to the [g1] or [g2] codes when
switching from grade 1 or back to grade 2.
Sincerely:
Dave Durber
