Hi Stacey: I'm sorry... I had written a message that responded to this yesterday, but, alas, forgot about the ridiculous feature in keymail. Thus, the message was sent from my other address (which is not subscribed to this list), and therefore my message bounced.
First and foremost, the argument about the BN being a PDA is even more irrelevant in this topic than it is in other innumerable threads on this list. There is nothing wrong with Stacey asking if her machine can perform a specific function. Stacey, like you, I edit out all page numbers from Web Braille. Though the method Bob suggested is semi-valid, it has it's problems. For instance, if you have a book with dates in it, replacing the number sign followed by one would edit all of those occurances as well. Number sign followed by a four would edit out all words which end in a bled. So, this is my method of editing out numbers. It's still time consuming, but its the easiest and fastest that I could come up with. >From the top of the document, enter the find menu by pressing space with f (read with f). In the "find" field, type the number sign (dots 3,4,5,6) followed by dot 1 for the number 1. Press enter. You will, most likely, be taken to the page number one. After editing out the number and the surrounding spaces, instead of going into the find menu again, simply use the "find next occurance" command by pressing space with n (read with n). This way, you will quickly be taken to page 11, 13, 15, 17, 19 and, if the volume has over a hundred pages, to all of them as well. Go back to the top of the document and repeat the procedure with numbers 2 through 9. As I've said, it's far from quick, but it's definitely quicker than typing in each number, and you still get the luxury of previewing whatever you're editing out, which the "replace all" command does not allow for.
