Sieghard, I am stumped with commas and apostrophes! I found with the dash you just need to do a very short line. I had a small amount of vision as a child and learned how to print. My sighted husband was helping me to do som punctuation marks the other day and we just couldn't get the commas and apostrophes to identify. In Christ, Lisa
