Hi again Harry. If you have a braille display, and I think you said you did, the tabs will appear like the letter i with a dot below it. The carriage returns will look like the letter m with a dot below it. So, if you type in TextEdit in either grade 2 or computer braille, you can see the control characters displayed so you can find out if you missed putting in a tab. Because, if you forget one, of course, your text will be in the wrong column.
You can turn on control characters by saying yes to see dots 7 and 8. This is one option I wish we were able to turn the display of control characters on and off. I do this all the time because I have four columns I need to separate in my braille proofreading reports. Although I could use Numbers to do this, I found TextEdit better since it produces rtf files, and it is ore flexible for my reports.
