Hi,

Some people reported me a change in 2013.3 which they think should be reverted.
When reading a table in Microsoft Word using a braille display, there was a separator between heach column which is not present since 2013.3.
This change is not documented, and this separator was really useful.
Could it be back?

I cannot test myself for the moment but more than a person reported it.

Thanks.

NVDAHelper winword support: no longer strip u+0007 (found at the end of a table cell) out of the text as users find the separator useful on braille displays. Probably should find a better character though. Re #3695

The presence of this character was unintentional. It only has internal significance to Word.

Can you explain why this character is useful? If you have column coordinates or headers enabled, you will know you're heading into a new column because of the coordinates/headers.

We have chosen to close this as won't fix. The separator on the display was \x007 which is an MS Word specific control character which should be filtered out. Please reopen if you can provide a very clear case as to why this is important (e.g. the control character is shown on screen).
