It depends on what translation table/template you use.
If you use the Standard template whose default translation table is
English/American, you'll get the dots 34 as the slash because that's how
literary braille does it right now.
If you use the Textbook template which used the English/American Textbook
translation table, you'll get the 456-st.
You can change the translation table at any time. You should be in the dxp
version of the document. Choose the translation table option in the documents
menu.
Hope this helps.
