Dear Terry, Open a Keyword document. Go to the options menu. Locate the braille display options menu. Press space until you find, "function of previous and next thumb keys." There are three choices: up and down, sentence or line and paragraph or section. Change it to "Paragraph or section."
Now, you'll be able to scroll from one paragraph to another using the thumb keys. Neat, right? Terri Pannett, Amateur Radio call sign KF6CA.
