I didn' say anything about what can be done with previously inserted mark-up but that is not on the fly. I said in context which is a much more difficult issue and I'd like to see how you'd do it considering that many words which are considered foreign to some languages are pronounced differently depending on the language. Unless you do inline mark-up it is going to be very difficult. Kirk -- Kirk Reiser The Computer Braille Facility e-mail: kirk at braille.uwo.ca University of Western Ontario phone: (519) 661-3061
