Hi Janet,
As Susan has said, "they're broken", but there may be a work
round for you meantime.
Instead of using the [fr] code, use the [taaN] code. There
is one proviso however. You must ensure that the text you
push over does not extend into the last cell of the line.
Here's what I've written for 10.6 which may help.
George.
Special Tabs
Also known as:
What you need to know first:
(See also: Absolute Tab)
Code Used: [lps] [taaN] [lpr]
Keystroke: (None at present)
What does it do:?
It unconditionally tabs text to a specific tab position.
Where would it be used?
Suppose that we want to have a means of highlighting where
every occurrence of a specific word appears in text in a
very large document. In print, you might make that word
bold, italic, underlined, a larger font size, or even all
four. Easy for a sighted person to pick out at a glance.
We can emphasise the word in braille, but the braille reader
would usually have to plough through the text of whole
document.
Alternatively, you might put a character, like an asterisk
perhaps, in the right margin, and this is precisely what
DBT's approach is. The braille reader can then quickly skim
down the right hand side of the page, and locate the line a
word appears on.
The example shows two methods of achieving much the same
thing.
Usage in DBT:
[rm6]When you start to look more closely at how all the many
Duxbury [lps][taa27]dxb[lpr] Codes work, they can sometimes
be tricky to understand unless you have a good example.
When you start to look more closely at how all the many
Duxbury
[lps][fr]fr[lpr]Codes work, they can sometimes be tricky to
understand unless you have a good example.
Produces in Braille:

"s"ts 2 tricky 6"u/&
un.s y h a gd example4
Let us explain!
The [lps] code effectively says "Store this line position
while I do something". The [taa27] says, "Put the text that
follows over to begin in cell 27". Finally the [lpr] code
says go back to the line position you remembered and
continue.

Hi
Has anyone else tried using the codes [lps] and [lpr] in
10.5? We use them to do numbered lines, they allow you to
put the line number at the margin with [fr] and then
continue the text from the current position.
They work as they should in 10.3 but do not seem to work at
all in 10.5.
