Well, if each type of field had a specific code, DBT could replace them with
short phrases such as "Text input field," "check box" "select box" etc.

Hi All,
As Ann has discovered, DBT is incorrectly picking up the special codes used in
Word which are used to allow users to enter data into a Word form.
Fixing this in terms of preventing the erroneous code appearing is relatively
easy to fix.
However, the $64,000 question is what, if anything, SHOULD DBT do in terms of
perhaps replacing these fields, or indicating that information would normally
be added at that point?
Does anyone know of any clear guidance or recommendations? Please bear in mind
that this is a question which is in a sense International, and so we need to
hear from a wider area that perhaps just BANA.
George.

Hi Ann,
These are the Form Fill Fields where users of the forms are supposed to enter
information.
Essentially the Word file is protected in the sense that changes cannot be made
to the text, except that the user can tab between these fields to enter
information.
I have to say that in one sense, at least the creator has learned how to create
a form.
I do not believe however that DBT should be importing in this way though, so I
will request the matter be added to the problem database.
Thank you for bringing it to our attention.
George.

Shouldn't have been. Also, they were hidden in the print document and appeared
in the Braille document.

Ann,
If you are using 10.6, it is probably something like an abbreviation for
chapter #2 Given the context, would that make sense?
If you are using 10.7 the number symbol would be different.
