The page number setting can be altered. If you're in a Braille document, for example, and you wanted the pages in this document to be numbered, you would go to the Layout List in the Format Menu; if, however, you wanted the page numbers to be in your printed document, you would go to the Ink-Print Settings from the Format Menu, and choose Layout from the Ink-Print Settings list. You can change both if you want. If you're in a text document and want numbering changed, again you just go to Layout from the Format Menu, but if you want page numbers in this document when it's embossed or translated into Braille, you go into the Layout list from the Braille Settings of the Format Menu; again, you can change both settings. As you said, the default setting is to not put page numbers, but you can change this to Yes on a document-by-document basis. If, however, you want page numbers in all documents, you can do this: Once you've changed the setting to Yes, you can press (BT comman d) BACKSPACE with S, which will save your new settings; you can issue this command from the Layout list directly on the Format Menu. This means you cannot issue the command from the Layout List of the Ink-Print and Braille Settings. Braille is independent of text, so you have to open the appropriate document before going into the Layout list and then saving the new settings. You save the new settings for Braille page numbers in a Braille document only, and saving the page number settings to Yes in a text document would involve opening a text document. The list from which you can save these settings is the first option, "Layout", in the Format Menu. For Braille, the setting is called "Emboss Page Numbers", and it's "Print Page Numbers" for text. If you set this to Yes and then press ENTER to accept the setting, and you then get a setting which determines the Position of the number. The default is Top Right, but you can choose from six different positions, and issuing t he command for HELP at this point will give you commands. You first put in T for top or B for bottom, and then L, C, or R for Left, Center, and Right respectively, so if you wanted top right, for example, you would put in tr. With Page Number set to No, the Number Position setting doesn't appear. For Brailling many pages with page numbers, it would probably be easiest for you to change the default setting for Page Number to Yes and then save this. If you only change a value for one document, the BN will prompt you to confirm changes once you exit the list you're in within the Format Menu, and you just press Yes to accept this. I don't know QT commands, but pressing HELP from the Layout List will give you, among other things, the command to save new settings. HTH. Maria
