Thank you, I think I have this figured out now! I read the manual section mentioned in your message but it was not as clear as you have been--or maybe I am less stressed today. This is the first time I have written an E-mail message on the BN although I have owned one since early 2001. I can type much faster, I do not braille a lot so have lost some speed and have to think about contractions even after reading braille for more than 40 years, I would recognize mistakes immediately but I type so much that writing braille is something I have to think about.
