If someone finds a status menu and the control characters option in it, please let us know on the list. I might not be the only one considering purchasing a new note taker, and whether or not these formatting characters show up on PacMate would influence my decision whether or not to buy it, and it might help others make a similar decision.

That's what I suggested Linda but thanks. -----Original Message----- From: bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Linda Adams Sent: Thursday, August 09, 2007 10:51 AM To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: validation question Hi, Susan and Evan. Having used the Braille Lite for years, and since thePacMate is made also by Freedom Scientific, I wonder how much of the BrailleLite's editing capabilities are carried over to the PacMate. In the BrailleLite, you can turn on what they call Control Characters in the status menu.Does the PacMate have a status menu? If it does and you turn this option on, you will see all paragraph symbols, page breaks, end of line symbols, and all manner of other formatting codes on your braille display.

But someone may know something about it Idon't. I, like you, just take the final copy into K1000. Happy validating.Have a great day.
