Hello!
I'm a bit puzzled as to what you are trying to do but I'll try to approach
this from a number of angles.
If you are translating a document from text to braille and you wish to
remove the unwanted format commands which are introduced when working with
a Microsoft Word Document, I found it is easier to save that document as a
.txt file. This immediately gets rid of the format commands you don't
want. Translate your newly saved text document into braille and you won't
need to put up with those unwanted format commands. Keep the original
Microsoft Word Document available just in case there may be a
mistranslation or something else messes up. You will always have the
original document to fall back on.
Should you use the go to command, dots 1 2 6 with spacebar, you can simply
type that in. The BN will say go to? You then would type something like
p3 for page three, l6 for line six and C1 for column one, press
enter. Every character and space on a line is considered a column. You
could have sixty spaces as a margin in a print document or 40 spaces in a
braille document. Each space and character on that line is considered a
column. Let's assume the first three words on a line have six letters
each. Obviously, the first word begins on column one. The word would end
on column six. The space would be on column seven, and the next six letter
word would begin on column 8. If I figured it right, the third word should
be on column fifteen. If you were searching for the third word initially,
you would write the go to command, dots 1 2 6, P3 l6 c15. You can use the
number sign when entering with a BT keyboard and writing in grade two. I
think you could write with the number sign when using that command in a
text document. This depends on your preferred reading grade I think. You
don't initiate the find command when using the go to command. Just type
space with dots 1 2 6 and type in where you wish to be reading and
editing. I checked this with the dots 1 5 6 with spacebar command and that
command confirmed that I did indeed take myself to the place I wanted to go
in the document.
You can execute the find command and type in the punctuation you are
looking for. The find command will take you to the first occurrance of
that punctuation. If I'm looking for a line return, I simply type it and
the find command will take me to the first occurrance of it. If you are
trying to get to the first column on a line, I think you would have more
success with the go to command.

I am attempting to clean up a document by searching and replacing a word
with that word followed by a new line indicator. According to the manual:
3.12.2 Searching for Format Indicators.
You can use the following command sequences to search for these
indicators, and also to insert Format indicators into a document when
entered at the "Replace with?" prompt:
New Line: SPACE with dots 126.
When I press space with dots 1 2 6, it just beeps at me. I have tried
this on two Braille Note Classics, one running Keysoft 5 and the other
Keysoft 6.11 and on a PK running 6.01. They all behave the same way.
If I use the new page indicator, space with p, it works fine. However, I
do not want to make each line a new page.
Does anyone know the real command for find and replace a new line
indicator? Or, is this simply not actually available?
Thanks,
Richard
