I have found that the punctuation works ok when reading line by line, but when using the read-to-end feature some punctuation is spoken. It is not consistent. For example when reading the bible where there is a colon between the chapter and verse, it will read the punctuation for a while and then stop for a while. Cliff

Also I'm editing a document for a class I'm taking. In general on my pc I work in word perfect which the bsp doesn't support, that would be on my wish list of improvements. I converted the document to rtf and copied it to a compact flash card. Can you use more than one type of document in the word processor at a time, document 1 being rtf, document 2 being txt, seems to me I tried this and when switching between them was told that one was unsupported? It was great to be able to go over the document as I found lots of caps I otherwise wouldn't have noticed without using braille, but I also found a number of apostrophes that had been totally mangled and were something completely different some had number signs and dots 5 6 and several other characters attached, and yet many of my apostrophes were fine, any idea why some were totally corrupted while others weren't? The rtf file on my pc is 800odd kb 146400 words about. I did some editing than moved the file back to the pc for printing, the rtf file is now 1.4mb and 146300 words. Why the massive jump in size? I've reduced the word count but the file is almost twice the size it was on the pc. Also does it take longer to load rtf files in the bsp, I realize this is a largish file but loading and saving seems to take ages, I save every 10 minutes because I'd hate to lose the file and have to redo everything. I love being able to edit with the speech off just using the braille. And lastly, back to the spell checker, it gives us the option to spell check by chapter but at least in the word processing portion of the manual it doesn't indicate any means for marking out chapters. My document has chapters but when I tried to use the spell check item by chapter it just dumped me back into the document again. Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks.
