Larry,

The following from the DBTW Codes Quick Reference section of Help describes a code that does most of what you asked for:

Skip to line #

Code Used: [stL]

Keystroke: (None at present)

What does it do:?

It skips to a specific line on the page counting from the top line. (Unless already at or beyond that line)

Where would it be used?

To force text to appear at a specific place. For example, when creating address cards.

Usage in Duxbury:

[st18]Fred Smith[l]

The Lawns[l]

TOWN[l]

[pg]

Produces in Braille:

Will put the above with the first line appearing on Line 18 of the page.

Let us explain!

For the more technical:

[stL] -- Skips to line L (counting from top line = 1) on page (unless already at or beyond that point).

Greetings:

Is there a code in DBT one can place in front of some text to make it go to
a specific line number?

I want this text to go to line 18 if I have not passed that line already,
and if the line count is already higher, it will go to line 18 of the next
page.

Thanks for any guidance.
