Jean,
Glad your getting it to work, don't forget to set the reading mode to
sentence and paragraph and have your display set to the same thing. It
should print and Braille out like this as well. Theoretically, if you go
to new lines and put in the two spaces manually it should move by
paragraphs but oh well. To make extra sure it prints like you want, just
set the print layout to paragraph indenting at five before you type and
your set. Glad its working now.

Subject: [Braillenote] solution for paragraph reading mode


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
