John, I started BB like you recommended using the java -jar command line and got the error that was happening. Before I was just running it with brailleblaster.jar without the java -jar part. Anyway, here is the error. Exception in thread "main" java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: -1 at java.lang.String.substring(Unknown Source) at org.brailleblaster.wordprocessor.NewDocument.fillOutBody(Unknown Source) at org.brailleblaster.wordprocessor.DocumentManager.createDocument(Unknown Source) at org.brailleblaster.wordprocessor.DocumentManager.translate(Unknown Source) at org.brailleblaster.wordprocessor.BBMenu$48.widgetSelected(Unknown Source) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.TypedListener.handleEvent(Unknown Source) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.EventTable.sendEvent(Unknown Source) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Widget.sendEvent(Unknown Source) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display.runDeferredEvents(Unknown Source) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display.readAndDispatch(Unknown Source) at org.brailleblaster.wordprocessor.DocumentManager.<init>(Unknown Source) at org.brailleblaster.wordprocessor.WPManager.<init>(Unknown Source) at org.brailleblaster.Subcommands.<init>(Unknown Source) at org.brailleblaster.Main.main(Unknown Source) Best regards from Ohio, U.S.A., Vic E-mail: vic.beckley3@xxxxxxxxx
