Grant: are you using the braille settings specifically for Word, or are you expecting this behaviour to be global? It might just need to be the toggle within settings/braille/attribute markings which will fix this.
HIMS is correct in that attribute markings and the like are specific to screen readers. However: there are some long standing mistakes with the hard coding of braille hot keys which AI Squared seems unwilling to fix. Raised the issue about five years ago when I got my first Braille Edge. In general: I find the Edge's USB connection to Windows very solid, but aspects of the Window-Eyes interface need to be improved.

In the word processors for HIMS I can display the symbol for a new paragraph which is dots 1246 and dots 1234. When I am reading or writing in NotePad on my pc, I have not been able to get the paragraph symbol to show up. Has anyone on the list discovered how to do this using WindowEyes? I called HIMS and they said that it is strictly up to the specifics of which pc, screen reader and operating system. If you have been able to get a HIMS braille display to work with WindowEyes and particularly to get the “new paragraph” symbol to show up, I would appreciate knowing how it is done. Thanks much!
