Hi jerry,
This may be because every new line - a hard line break, when the enter
key is pressed - is treated as a paragraph break, thus making a new one
begin in cell two or cell three (to conform with the correct brailling
rules), in Notepad and in Perky Duck. If you have the full forty cells
filled in one line, then isn't it likely that there will be a single
space left in cell one of the next braille line to mark the word
separation, which might be important if you have the display refreshing
automatically? (I can't speak to perky duck, not having it.) the
paragraph setting in Outlook and word may be set to two line-spaces
rather than just one. if reading a print line in Notepad of more than
40 characters that wraps, I believe the remainder of the print line will
start over on cell one of the next braille (as it will happen, shorter)
line. the braille line beginning in cell two or three may be quite
correct for beginning a new paragraph in braille. I do have Duxbury
braille Translator, and I know that there are settings available there
to enable beginning a parargraph on cell one.

Hi,
I think the margins are only for printing. Anyway, I just changed it
to 0
on my own computer, and I still find the first character in Notepad in
cell
# 2.
It was definitely a good thought and worth a try though.

What's her left margin set to? In Notepad, page Set-up, the default
left and right margins both are 20 millimeters. (This is the value in
Windows XP. I presume it's the same in vista.)

I am working with a deaf-blind person who uses a Focus braille
display,
JFW
11, and Vista.
She's taking a braille transcription course, so alignment is
important.
She has discovered that in Perky Duck, and in Notepad, the cursor
always
starts in cell 2 instead of cell 1. (In Word or Outlook, the cursor
starts
as it should in cell 1.)
I have tried changing some settings in her braille options. Status
cells
are turned off. She's using a 40-cell display, and panning increment
is set
to 40.
Any thoughts on why this problem is occurring and how to fix it?
Thanks.
