Hi Douglas,
It's almost midnight here in the UK, so my brain's slower than it's
usual slow.
I'm not quite sure exactly what you want to achieve here?
Lets say you have 5 clear cells on the left of the front page. In that
clear area of 5 cells, will you have any braille on the back?

Thanks, the command worked simply enough, but it reset the margin for
the entire document, front and back pages alike. How do I reset the
margin to indent to cell 6 only for odd or front pages, while the back
pages resume the normal setting with the margin at cell 1? Do I have
to manually insert the code repeatedly at the top of each page: {ind6}
for every odd page, {ind1} for every even page? Thanks.
