I use POIN for the decimal and POIRN for space decimal.

Wynne -- love your name, my name is pronounced similarly. ;)

I'm still on E4, but I write point as POINT, and the decimal as final -P, defined as {DECIMAL}. Never failed me . . . and no asterisk. :)

I don't know if that has changed in 5, if that's what you're using. I can't imagine Jeremy would have changed it, though.

Actually, in Eclipse, you don't have to have two strokes for 1.3 or .3.  The software knows to put them together, and you shouldn't end up with one.3 ever.  I think if I have a stroke for a decimal point, it should apply to all decimal points.

I use P-T for decimal point.

I actually prefer not relying on the software to choose which it should be.  I took the word point out of my metadictionary so it won't touch it.  I would write point one, and it would change it to .1, not what I wanted.

I write P-T defined as {#G&}{^}.{^}{#G&}.  That way you won't get one.3.

I write SP-T for space point, like in  .3 miles.  That's defined .{^}{#G&}

 

They're easy to remember and simple to hit.

You could also try P-NT.

And I would think it's a matter of time before Jeremy fixes that problem.  Most reporters rely on the AI of Eclipse to cure that conflict.

I write point, the word, POINT, of course, and the decimal as POI.

the word "point"   --   The point of this whole exercise is to.....

decimal point       --   4.932 acres

did he say            --   Did he say he understood?

For years I've written these both "point."  Adv. Tech Support says Jeremy has changed something the program so this no longer works.

(Any nonasterisk suggestions would be greatly appreciated.)
