Thanks Jean; I have not yet tried space with g. I have been reading withspace 4 or space 1. I some times use the thumb keys to read the whole line since I am finding a little trouble understanding the book reader. I would say it is not as noticeable in other sections, because most of it is material you have written and are formiliar with, such as your own address book.
I sure learned something new this weekend about the find command, space f. The BT sure has a mind of its own and you have to type in grade 2 with every cap, the way it is in the book. The manual sure does not tell us this and I tried and tried to put a title in over the weekend and it could not be found. I then copied it just the way it was in the contents and it was found. I still can not get the page, line to work. There are no page markers in that book, but at least the find works. Thanks for everyone's help with such a troublesome book.

Any other speech reading command also advances the speech to that exact spot. If you want to bring the cursor to a location visible on the braille display, use one of the cursor routing buttons that are above each cell. The reason the two don't necessarily move together is so that you can examine text elsewhere without necessarily losing your place. Think of it like looking around without having to lose your place. Let's say you had your cursor somewhere and you neede to refer back or forward to something else. You can move forward or backward with the braille, and then when you want to resume your original space, press the current word or sentence commands with space and dots 2-3 or space with dots 1-4 respectively. Yes, you might sometimes have to kind of get them together, but the idea that you can look at something else without actually losing your place is great. Especially if you were in the middle of some editing and you needed to quickly resume where you were. Hope that explains it a bit.
