Hi Jean,
Here's the official explanation from the Help files. Codes: DBT CODES
QUICK REFERENCE
// -- Used to prevent contractions, equivalent to the [/] code in
literary text. (It is now preferable to use the [/] code.)
[/] -- Translation code, to prevent contractions straddling the code.
E.g. line[/]age would assure that no "ea" contraction is used in the
word lineage, as appropriate when the word has the unusual meaning
"quantity of lines"

Thanks George,
That worked. Remind me again what the double slash does? It forced the
right symbols, but what is it doing? I guess I'm looking for the
techie explanation. (smile)
