doctorduncan is on a distinguished road

Thanks for the response. I am attaching a document that contains the table I am working on modifying. There are two rows that illustrate my problem. The second one of them is highlighted. It has a circle and dots to the right and left above it. The row above that, which I can't seem to highlight is just a dot ".". When I am using the software SIL Hebrew keyboard that I installed, and the SBL Hebrew font (the link for the keyboard is in the document), and I press the "o" (lower-case) key, I should get the circle with the dot to the left at about 11 o-clock. Instead what happens is that I first get the dot by itself and when I press the key again, I get the circle with the dot that I want. I cannot select and delete the dot to the right of the circle without also deleted the circle and dot to the left. It almost seems like something has gone wrong with the key mapping. I did get this to work correctly the very first time I tried it but then I decided to go back and add something else with a dot at the top of it. That broke what I was trying to do.

Why can't I select the dot by itself when the circle and dot to the left are present? It is almost as though the "spare" dot to the right is in a table cell of its own that I cannot touch or highlight. I have typed both Hebrew and Greek into documents that are mostly English. Usually this is a copy and paste with SBL Hebrew or SBL Greek. What I need to do here is slightly different.

The attachment is somewhat large because I embedded the font into it.

Please see the attached. I wonder if I have messed up the table structure somehow. Thanks for any suggestions. I've never tried to do precisely what I am trying to do here. It worked fine with other Hebrew characters using the same method. Thanks.
