Hello Terry,

I, the she of whom you speak, meant this: A binding space is a cue to tell 
Keysoft that you are not at the end of a sentence, though a full stop (period) 
is present.  As I said, when I wrote the message I was in a big rush, and have 
since created a file and did not have the same problems as you did.  However, 
the binding space command can be very useful, especially if you rely heavily on 
speech.

For instance: if in your nut sales file or any other file, you have the 
following sentence: "Ms.  Earles bought 5 cans of nuts." If you had your bn 
reading by sentence, it would stop after the word "Ms." because it is followed 
by a period (dots 2,5,6).  But Ms.  is not the end of the sentence, nuts is.  
To cue the bn that this is not really the end of a sentence, instead of hitting 
the spacebar after the period, use enter with b (control with space) to enter a 
binding space.  Now, again, try reading the current line, and you will hear the 
entire sentence spoken.

HTH, Laura
