Hi Peter. Thanks for your response. I think I'm getting confused, though, because I don't think I should be seeing what I am seeing. So please allow me to try again, and if you wouldn't mind pointing out where my understanding is failing, that would be great. Steps to reproduce: In SP1 1. Configure an Index Basic D that will only be used for narrow width paper and set the characters per line to 32 2. Add a Romeo 25 embosser that will only be used for wide width paper and set the characters per line to 40 3. While the Romeo 25 is still selected in the Brailler Device list box, examine the following two controls in the Desired Braille Document Formatting group: a. Form combo box b. Characters Per Line edit box 4. You should find that the form combo box contains wide width paper, and the characters per line is 40. 5. Select the index in the list box and examine the contents of the aforementioned controls. The form combo box contains narrow width paper, and the characters per line is 32. Thoughts on findings: This behavior makes sense because the Index is using narrow width paper and 32 characters per line and the Romeo is using wide width paper and 40 characters per line. In SP2 Repeat steps 1 through 4 above. You should have the same findings. Then: 5. Select the index in the list box and examine the contents of the aforementioned controls. The form combo box contains wide width paper, and the characters per line is 40. Thoughts on findings: This behavior doesn't make sense because the Index should be using narrow width paper and 32 characters per line, yet it says wide width paper and 40 characters per line. I apologize for being so dense, but what am I missing? Is this new behavior intentional, and if so, why? Take care.

The only connection between what is listed in the listbox and what is on the other part of the dialog is that all of these things are displayed in the same dialog. Adding a dialog box is not difficult, but: - It would need to be localized, and - It would need to be tested for accesibility purposes. Anything that pops up when a listbox selection changes is likely to cause a lot of complaint.

Regarding Warren's original post: I'm not sure if I understand the behavior Warren described, but here is what I did observe when trying to reproduce his findings: If you have multiple embossers set up in the Global Embosser Setup dialog box -- be they different models (like an Index and a Romeo) OR different configurations (e.g. Index Narrow and Index Wide) -- *whatever* changes you make in the Desired Braille Document Formatting group will be applied to *all* of the embossers listed in the Brailler Device listbox. So when I added a Romeo and set it up for wide width paper, 40 characters per line, my existing Index (which had been set up for narrow width paper, 32 characters per line) adopted the settings for the Romeo. Peter said: 2. This doesn't answer the question of what to do when the user changes embossers. That's a tough question. Every time I come up with an example where the default settings of the new embosser should be used, I come up with another where the settings associated with the document should be preserved and the only thing that should change is the device producing the braille. So.... Please excuse my ignorance of software development, but how much work would it be to add a dialog box? I am envisioning a dialog popping up and prompting the user to either apply the default settings of the new embosser or preserve the settings associated with the document. Take care.
