Hi Terri

No. I still don't have an answer or solution to the reading by paragraph thing. But I'm glad I'm not the only one struggling with this one.

Jean;
I was reading my first NLS book this weekend. At the start of the book there is a huge list of titles and authors. they are the items in the book. The book was on paragraph mode and I was trying to get to the begining of the book. When I would press space 56 it sounded like it was only going a single line. I could back track a line and then forward a paragraph and get the same. Got any idea why it was doind this. The only thing I can come up with is that it might have been a list and maybe paragraph will not work on
a list.
I also could not get space 1,2,6 for finding page, line or column to work. I even tried the find command for chapter 1, p 1, pg 1 and page 1. I also tried 35 and ran into page numbers in the contence. I finally quickly went line by line through the contence and I finally found the introduction. When I finally made it to chapter 1, there was only a 1 and the name. I have seen numbers throughout my reading. I guess they are the page numbers,
but there is no symbol to show this.
I came upon the word his with the h capitalized. Why would the BT just say
dot six?
If anyone can give me any advice on any of these problems, it would be
greatly appreciated.

Okay.  As far as I can figure this out so far, here's what I think is
happening with moving by paragraph with space dots 2-3 or 5-6. .  It
works fine in any text file.  It works fine in any text file converted
to braille.  It works fine in the Demonstration file included in the
General folder by Humanware.  I gather this is a braille document
created just to play with.  Notably, it has one carriage return to
separate paragraphs.

But I can't move by paragraph in any braille file I create.  I've
experimented with as many combinations of reading mode and thumb key
combos, but no go.  It wants two carriage returns in a braille file in
order to recognize it as a paragraph.  All of the layout options are
unchanged.

Anyone have any ideas?  Could this be a bug or something in 6.2?  I
would assume one shold be able to move by paragraph in a braille doc you
create.

Jean
