How would I go about replacing a tab character with a space? Also, I have a medical word book which I scanned, it is about 800 pages in print. When I transferred it to the Braille Note it seems to work fine except for two problems. First, when I press the go to end of file command (space with dots 4,5,6) I move to about page 113 in the document and hang. I can use the move by paragraph command to move on down or I can do a find or go to page until I get near the end of the file. In K1000 the file in its KES format and in the BRL format is complete but on the Braille note I get into the V's and it just seems to stop.
I suppose I could break this into two files but the reason for it at all is to be able to search for surgical instruments and other equipment in a reasonably fast fashion. Any clues?

With these types of characters, you have to use the Unicode character feature. In general, if you want to enter a character by name, press FUNCTION with X, type the name or part of, and tap ENTER; the first result will be displayed, and if this isn't the character you want, press READ with N to move to the next result until you find the one which you want, and press ENTER to insert it. Alternatively, to enter the character by its ASCII number, hold down SHIFT with READ, type the ASCII number while holding down these keys, and release the keys after you've typed in the ASCII number. When you press FUNCTION with X, pressing SPACE will cause you to go into a list of the Unicode tables, and once you tap ENTER, you can SPACE through the list of characters in the table, and tap ENTER when you land on a character to insert it; you can use first-letter navigation when browsing tables and the characters within them. When on a Unicode character in a table, you can review or change how it is displayed on the Braille display by pressing CONTROL with D, or, if you frequently use a character, assign a key combination to it by pressing CONTROL with K; with both of these commands, you will be told what the current dots/keystrokes are, and your options are to Assign dots/keystrokes by pressing A, unassign dots/keystrokes by pressing U, or reassign dots/keystrokes by pressing R. To utilize your keystroke combination, you would press FUNCTION with C, followed by the assigned keystroke. Finally, when pressing FUNCTION with X, an alternative to entering the character by name or browsing to it in the tables is to enter its hexadecimal code (note that a hexadecimal code for a character is different from its ASCII value). Refer to "Extended Characters Topics" in the index of your User Guide and all of its subtopics if you need additional information. Now, I'll handle your examples, and thanks for providing them because I was honestly having some trouble understanding your post until I saw them. For your first scenario, here's what you would do. First, move to the top of your document with READ with T. Enter Find and Replace with [CONTROL with F], and type F to search forward. In the "Find?" field, type the letter p. Now, the e acute is ASCII 233 and in the Latin 1 Supplement table, so you can input it in any of the ways I've described above. Because it seems the easiest if you know the ASCII value, I'll use the example in this situation to next hold down SHIFT with READ, type the number 233 while holding down those keys, and then release the keys. Next, continue typing the word, so type diatrie, and hit ENTER. At the "Replace with?" field, type "pediatric" (without the quotes), tap ENTER, and at the "Replace all or first?" field, type A for "All". As for the other characters you provided in your post as examples, the ¦ (broken bar character) is hexadecimal code 0x00a6, ASCII 166 and in the Latin 1 Supplement table. The ® (registered sign character) is hexadecimal code 0x00ae, ASCII 174 and also in the Latin 1 Supplement table. Finally, the § (section sign character) is hexadecimal code 0x00a7, ASCII 174 and also in the Latin 1 Supplement table. You would follow the same procedure to find and replace these as I described in the second paragraph of this post, but, of course, substitute the e acute with the appropriate character. BTW, you can find the hexadecimal code for a particular character by opening the file called "Unicode Tables.uct" (tout the quotes, and you won't see the extension when viewing the file on the BN) in the Dictionaries Folder of the Flash Disk. You will have to press READ with X at the "List of all documents in 'Dictionaries' folder" prompt to get to the "List of files" view in order to see this file in the list. Search for the character, such as typing in "broken bar" (without the quotes). On the example of that character, on every line, you will see the hexadecimal code, followed by a comma, followed by the character name, without any spaces, e.g. "0x00a6,Broken Bar" (without the quotes).
