Hello Marcus, Mohamed and Dave Thank you all for your help. I will contact Tom at Humanware. The number sign is the English standard braille sign , which will not be in use for Unified English Braille. I thought there would be a new sign for ble but maybe there is not. I have been mainly a silent reader of the list an send a message now and then. I have in the past owned a Voice note classic, an N Power 18 cells and now a Apex 18 cells Q T. I use my apex mainly for the address Book, planner and word processing. Thanks again Marcia
