Jean,
Don't apologize if your confused, that's what we're hear for. As for
what you explained, normally that is a format set such as in Word for
example. Normally when I type a single spaced document I just use tab
when I want to indent paragraphs and it works. The only time when I have
double spaces in paragraphs is when I set the format to double space
such as for righting a research paper. You can do the same thing when
creating a Braille document and even set print formatting independently.
This what I did in school when writing my Spanish papers. For safety,
I'd also active sync it to my PC and double check formatting in Word,
especially when working with citations. As for creating Braille
documents, think of the BN as a Perkins, with a never ending supply of
paper, and the ability not to throw your back out when carrying it. LOL

Hi Sarai

Here's where I think my confusion came from.  In print if using single 
space, there are usually two carriage returns between paragraphs.  If 
double space, then the first line of the next paragraph can either be 
indented or flush left.

So, when I first started working with the BrailleNote, I was so 
conditioned to the old qwerty keyboard habit of working in double space 
format and just pressing one carriage return and knowing and expecting 
that to be a paragraph.  Well, it is in the work print format I use, but

alas, I should know better!  Um, I'm a very fluent braille reader but 
the idea of creating a braille file just went past me.  I know to add 
the indent on the Perkins.  LOL.

So, apologies to the list for questioning something that should've been 
obvious from the outset.  The problem was me, not the unit.  Smile.  I 
love everything I've learned so far.

Now I'll go read some more of my first downloaded braille book.  I just 
love that experience.

Jean
