Perhaps you can answer one more question.
As per request of the editor/publishing house, I’ve reset the footnotes to restart from 1 every section. Randomly, some numbers have not changed (I’ve come across 5 instances right now). Why would that be?

That’s an interesting idea.
I’m going to try it and a bit and let you know what happens.

Cheers.

Hi Chris,

Good idea – I originally had it set up like that. But it was taking up too much room and was giving me grief with long phrases. I couldn’t have the format as I wrote above: Word \ Transliteration \ Hebrew word.
It would come out like
Word Transliteration Hebrew Word
Longer Word Longer Transliteration Longer Hebrew Word
with odd spacing. This would have been ok has I had one table per page, but the dictionary is in 2 columns and small – it was taking up too much room and its really like a reference at the back of the book.

Thanks for taking the time to respond.
The code does find the characters and the punctuation and does change them, the problem is it does the same thing as above – changes just that word and doesn’t work on the phrase, so the punctuation ends up somewhere in the middle of the phrase.

I see now that it posted that the Hebrew is coming up as question marks, but you can see where the “!” is in any case in the 2 examples – one is to the right of the question marks and one is to the left.

I’m working in the regular version with no plugins.
I have an old ME version, but I was trying to make it work in regular CS6.
Seems I’ll need a plugin in order for the punctuation to work, or I’ll have to do the project in ME CS4.

I was wondering in general what the differences are between Scribedoor and World Tools if I’m considering getting one.

Whoa – I was typing this while on the phone.
I can’t believe how I wrote dictionary in the title….

Thanks for the link, David, but I don’t see anything there that indicates the script can be used to gather words with their translation from tables. Do you think I didn’t look at it thoroughly enough?
