Thanks for confirming that you couldn't duplicate it either, Laura. I had deleted the original message, so I was writing in the format I thought, but wasn't positive, Terry had been writing in; since I wasn't able to duplicate, I was sure I hadn't been writing correctly.
Another problem the binding space solves is, for example, the mispronunciation of "$1 million" (dollar sign, the number 1, a regular space, the word "million" (without the quotes)) as "1 dollars" instead of "1 million dollars". >----- Original Message ----- >From: "laura wolk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED] >To: Braillenote List <[email protected] >Sent: Fri, 15 Oct 2004 18:01:39 -0400 (EDT) >Subject: RE: [Braillenote] strange goings-on with my BrailleNote >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.
