Hi Lisa, Just a few quick notes to add to this post, which is all correct. From your Braille document, you can check how many Braille pages you have by putting your cursor at the end of your document and then pressing SPACE with dots 1-5-6. It'll say something like "Page 9 Line 3 Column 17" which means you've written 8 full pages and are now on the 3rd line of the 9th page and the 17th column of the 3rd line. When you've translated the document to text, follow the procedure above to check how many print pages you have. BTW, I would suggest translating a Braille document you've written into text if many layout matters are concerned for the paper; do this before giving it to a professor. That way, you'll get a direct look at the layout from the document itself as opposed to just setting it in the Ink-Print Settings from a Braille document and hoping they came out. When you get into your text document, press the PREVIOUS and NEXT thumb keys together after Layout is displayed; this will bring you to a Layout mode, which shows you all the formatting commands right on your Braille display without you having to move your cursor around to find format indicators. Press the thumb keys mentioned above to return to Automatic Mode, which is the default after you have finished. As far as emailing it goes, I would NOT suggest doing this. The minimum of formatting that won't come out is indenting and double-spacing, but page numbers probably won't appear either. This isn't just a BN thing, and I've experienced the same issue with regular computers. HTH. Maria
