Hi Mary Well, I'm now back to working under Window-Eyes, and possibly NVDA if I can get rid of that horrendous voice they use by default which I find absolutely nauseating!
But let me please be clear on this. In Word, are you saying that you just indent a paragraph by two spaced? Yes that is how we work in Braille too. But in print, it's different and that's the thing I was trying to get my head around. So, if that is the case, you're saying that instead of having a blank line at the start of each paragraph in a document under Word, I need to indent the line by two spaces. Is that correct? If so, that isn't the convention I've alway used for printed letters. And it would seem that it is going to take a great deal of work with standard Word documents if you have to edit them all that way. The Braille rules for paragraphs are exactly the same here, you indent them by two cells. On 24 Aug 2012, at 14:36, Mary Stores <[email protected]> wrote: Hi Gordon, > Right, now just to be clear.

DBT's standards may be different if you choose to import the Word file as English braille with or without capitals, because your rules may be different than mine. According to the BANA standards there's no blank line. Instead, the paragraphs are indented two spaces. I don't know what the BAUK's standards say. > Thank you.

If the verbosity settings wouldn't hange, and if you weren't getting good menu prompts, it does make me wonder. > Now, just one other thing I've noticed.
