I think the trickiest thing about the BN is the margins. The BN's margins are not standard 1 inch margins. For example, a left margin of 10 simply means 10 characters from the left edge of the paper but it doesn't necessarily mean the 10 characters will equal an inch. The same is true for top, bottom, and right margins.
I wish Humanware would change Keysoft so the margins would equal inches. Even in the WP 5.1 days, a left margin of 10 equaled an inch and you had the choice of using inches or units and it all worked out the same. Terri, Amateur Radio call sign KF6CA.
