Hi Flor, Thanks for helping me try to work through this. I just tried typing a long string of text without ever hitting the enter key. Each time the display refreshes, it always starts in cell 2.

If you have the full forty cells filled in one line, then isn't it likely that there will be a single space left in cell one of the next braille line to mark the word separation, which might be important if you have the display refreshing automatically? (I can't speak to perky duck, not having it.) the paragraph setting in Outlook and word may be set to two line-spaces rather than just one. if reading a print line in Notepad of more than 40 characters that wraps, I believe the remainder of the print line will start over on cell one of the next braille (as it will happen, shorter) line. the braille line beginning in cell two or three may be quite correct for beginning a new paragraph in braille. I do have Duxbury braille Translator, and I know that there are settings available there to enable beginning a parargraph on cell one. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jerry Berrier" <jerry.berr...@comcast.net> To: <jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com> Sent: Sunday, September 19, 2010 12:51 AM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Braille display Issue in Notepad and Perky Duck > Hi, > I think the margins are only for printing.
