The answer is simple: put two slashes in the contraction and DTB will 
uncontract it. For example; complaini//ng Com will contract, in will contract 
and ing will not. If you need the whole word uncontracted: Codes List--f5 [i] 
immediately before the word will uncontract just that word.

Subject: [duxuser] contraction question

I'm working with material that is showing suffix word endings such as -ing, 
-ed, -d, etc. I do know how to force contractions and supress letter signs as 
needed, but I can't find whether these kinds of contractions are allowed when 
showing suffix endings standing alone. Does anyone know?
