Ok thanks. But Cindy there's one thing that I saw as u were writing this out. I saw that u were writing the steps out of how I would find my paragraphs faster. U were writing them out as if I were sighted. And I am not. I'm totally blind. Can anyone that is blind explain to me of how to find my paragraphs faster, so that way I can fix the breaks of how they should b fixed? Thanks.
