Thanks, Laura. I suppose you could just run the replace two spaces with one
until it came up blank<grin>.

hi Paul,
We don't have macros, but you can use the "find and replace" menu (as of
keysoft 4.02, I think), which allows you to enter a search text followed
by a field in which you enter what you want it to be replaced with. For
instance, I use the "find and replace" menu to strip out all of the page
breaks found in web braille books by entering the find and replace menu
with backspace with f, typing space with p (which is how to insert a page
break), followed by enter. In the "replace"? field, press space with dots
3,5,6, which clears the field. (If I'm not mistaken, this option is only
available in 5.0 onward).
I'm sorry I cannot give the qt commands here, but the file that Maria sent
with the dual command summary is still sitting on my laptop. *hits self
in head* I'm sure she or someone else will gladly give the qt commands.
