A couple of things. First, I find that it always happens in a word
document, usually right after one of those funny format markers that you
can't remove that are represented by $fm. Second, I believe that there
might be something to the fact that it seems to happen on bt bn more than
qt. Remember that the bn has to translate the Braille from the bt instead
of going directly in with the qt. Third, I see the situation of word and
other problems from both sides of the story. As a customer, I am rather
frustrated about some of the problems that remained to be fixed and wish
that there were a better way to know what was going on at Humanware. On the
other hand, I understand that it is hard to fix certain problems in
programs. Also remember that Word and all of its tricks and secrets belong
to Microsoft, not Humanware.

Now, these ideas would indeed work, but the point is that we shouldn't
have to find work-arounds to problems that shouldn't even be there in the
first place.

Hi Alex and List,
As possible work arounds, would either of the following help?
1). When about to save all the changes, save them first to a different
format, like plain text, then save as Word.
If that worked, it might save all the data but without good formatting.
Not sure how helpful that would be.
2).
Periodically, after "medium" sized changes, save the Word file.
This would mean if it broke less data should be lost.
Causion, I have not tried either of these.
Also, even if they were at all useful, they don't take away from the
anguish of having all your work cast away.
It sounds like so far: it only happens with .doc files; might have
something to do with either format markers, "strange" language markers,
perhaps URLs.
Do you use a lot of block copying/pasting?
Regards,
Steve.
P.s., I think one person on the list also saw it on a QT.
