Not a problem Richard. I hope those in charge will fix that little glitch
in the manual. At least we all learned something more!

I appreciate your attempts, but it was far more simple than that.
I down loaded a sports schedule from NLS Web Braille. Each game was not
on a separate line. The games kind of ran together. However, they all
ended with PM. So, I wanted to find and replace PM with PM "new
line." The manual had the wrong command for that.
Jean gave me the correct command, which is space with dots 2 6. As I
quoted in my message, the manual said, space with dots 1 2 6. So, in a
matter of a few seconds, the schedule now reads the way I wanted it to.
Again, thanks for the efforts.

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
