Hi Margaret,
The [kbs1] code will ensure that the next line will not be separated from the
text after the code, when the that text happens to fall on the next braille
page.
In this case, the text:
"Yours sincerely
Joe Bloggs
Head of Operations."
will never find itself starting the new braille page, but will always have the
last line accompanying the salutation- which is the desired outcome in most
situations.
The [kbs1] could just as well have been placed immediately after the word
"here." And then followed immediately by hard return [<] or a soft return [l]
You can test this by moving the last line of the sentence to braille line 21
and you will notice that that line and the salutation will be kept together on
the next braille page.
[kbe] terminates the character protect code
This code works similarly to the "keep text on one page (block protect)" codes
[kps] and [kpe].
HTH :)
Cheers

Subject: [duxuser] Anyone familiar with kbs1 and kbe codes??
Greetings
Anyone used kbs1 and kbe to keep the last line of a letter together with a
signature block?
The codes keep the text together, but the runover is in cell 3 rather than cell
1.
In the example below, the start code appears before the final word "here"
[para]Thank you for thinking of us on this occasion and for sending something
to us [kbs1] here.
Yours sincerely
Joe Bloggs
Head of Operations[kbe]
As coded above, "sending something to us here." and the signature block appear
at the top of the next page, but starting in cell 3.
Removing the 1 results in only the word "here." (in cell 1 of the first line of
the new page) and the signature block on the next page.
The desire is for "sending something to us here." in cell 1 of line 1 of the
new page, followed by the signature block.
