Can you tell me the difference between soft and hard returns?  For
example, if you hit if you hit enter on your PC to go to a new line, is
that a hard return?

Hi Leslie,

Pound to a bad penny you have a file which has hard returns
at the end of each line, as opposed to soft returns.

You will see this if you view Codes in the .DXP file, where
there will probably be an [l] code at the end of each line.

The quick way to resolve this is to highlight each
paragraph, and from DBT's document menu, select "Join
Lines".

George.

Hello all.  I am a Duxbury 10.5 user and am new to the list.
I'm trying to print out a document and the carriage returns
are being ignored. The document looks fine on my braille
display but when I print it out, the carriage returns are
being ignored.  In other words, there are line breaks in
awkward places and all the braille seems to be crammed opnto
1 page.  I've also noticed there are about 10 lines left,
which shouldn't be the case either.  My parameters are 26
lines/page, 41 characters/line.  Does anyone have any
recommendations? Thank you.
Sincerely:
Leslie Kouzes
