Okay, thanks to Sarai and Steve for providing me with the keys to what I think is the best solution for this problem.

Here's what I set up, and I can now enter text with one carriage return, read it on the display with no manual spaces to signify a new paragraph, and have the paragraph reading mode and thumb key paragraph reading modes work correctly.

In the forward translation menu, set paragraph boundary to either Indent or Blank Line, or New line. Interpret larger boundaries as paragraphs also is set to no, but I'm not sure if that matters. Set the paragraph format is new line. I didn't have any luck with this field adding the two spaces as someone suggested. It didn't seem to make a difference.

Then in the document, go to the format menu under layout options and set indent first line of paragraph to two.

Then you can just type text and use one carriage return and not worry about adding blank spaces or extra carriage returns. At least the paragraph movement functions work with this set up. I'm assuming it would then translate back properly for printing or embossing.

So, although this seems to work, I'm still puzzled as to why the new line para boundary and the new line para format indications aren't enough to signal a new paragraph with the indent left at 0.

But I'm relieved to have found something that seems to work. I just have to remember to set the Layout indent first line to two for any new document.

Jean
