Hi Don,

A paragraph marker, often called a "hard carriage return"
usually denotes the start and end of a paragraph, and as
such in braille the paragraph would usually be indented by 2
cells.  (Or whatever was set up for a paragraph style.)

A "line break" usually means that the next line is just
that, and normally starts at the left margin.

Hope I've explained this correctly.

George.

Hello:

I'm fairly new in this business and finding this list very
informative.  I 
still have a lot of learning to do.

Could someone explain to me the difference between a
paragraph marker and a 
line break?  Also, could someone tell me how to use the
comp-in-line feature 
in DBT?

Thanks

Don
