To answer your first question, I think it would be easier to use
the thumb keys to read a document in Braille. When your student
comes to the end of a line on the Braille display, they would
just hit the advance thumb key, which is the third one from the
left. Most likely, the numbers in a list are on a separate line
from the text under that number because the number has a period
next to it, for example 3. The BrailleNote thinks the number is
a sentence of its own, so it reads it separately. The thumb keys
will prevent this.
To answer your second question, to move between paragraphs, press
space with 5-6 to go to the next paragraph and space with 2-3 to
go back a paragraph.

Subject: [Braillenote] Problems with numbered items and paragraph
marks
A couple of things I don't understand.
1. When students write a list of words or sentences, the number
is on one
line and the words or sentences are on another line. I allow
students to
use space 1 and space 4 to arrow up and down their documents
after they read
them in braille. Why doesn't the number stay with the spelling
word or
sentence?
I like new paragraphs to begin on a new line. For some reason, I
am having
problems figuring out where paragraphs end and begin.
The BNs are relatively new and the kids are changing settings.
So I am sure
it is me not knowing what is going on well enough. Keeps me on
my toes.
Thanks,
Keith
