Oh my goodness, why edit codes indeed.  Well, you often have to edit the
codes to find out why something looks totally weird so you will know what
code is the culprit so you can replace it with a friendlier one.  I was
terrified of codes at first, but now I love finding out about them and how
they work.

Hi George and all

I've just discovered that in Jaws, if you set  punctuation to all, you can
press control right or left arrow and jaws will read the entire code. Doing
an insert numpad 8 gives you the whole code including   tildes etc. As a
medium user of DBT, this is all I really needed to know because I can now
navigate through a document reading codes, using insert numpad 8 to do any
more detailed reading.
I'm intrigued to know why people want to edit codes. What instance would you
do this in? I've got a lot more to learn about DBT, and would be interested
to know what editing codes would let me do which I can't do now. Or is it
really best not to mess with codes on an individual basis but simply modify
the styles?
Many thanks
