Hi Frank You'll see a lot of superscript used in handwritten scans. Just enter it as a normal letter. If there is a full stop then enter it in the full sense of TWYS. Bethnal Gn is a very common form of Bethnal Green in handwritten. good luck Bob Phillips ----- Original Message ----- From: "Yorkscan" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, January 30, 2005 10:21 PM Subject: Abbreviations in handwritten scans > My Syndicate has just started transcribing handwritten pages for the first > time.
