Hi, I believe that this has been around for quite a while actually. I thought that it had something to do with what VO considers punctuation and what it does with that consideration. But, after reading your message and changing VO’s punctuation reading to “All," it did read some of the brackets but it still had problems with the area you were pointing to. I’m guessing that the idea that the double-brackets causes the issue is valid.
Interesting. Later… Tim Kilburn Fort McMurray, AB Canada On May 2, 2014, at 8:04 AM, Alex Hall <[email protected]> wrote: > You know what's weird?
