#### Using Separators in the Virtual Keyboard for Visual Appeal

You can add or change where separators, empty space between buttons, appear on a virtual keyboard variation. This doesn't affect how the keyboard functions; it merely provides visual appeal and better organization to the keyboard's layout.

1. Create or open for modification a keyboard layout by following the procedures already described in the "To Create a New Virtual Keyboard Variation" topic and in the "To Modify an Existing Virtual Keyboard Variation" topic.

2. From the Mode list on the Customize Key pad dialog box, select Toggle Separators. Each button of the keyboard layout grid now contains a small, blue-dotted border.

3. Left click between the blue dots to show or hide a separator. A red line appears showing where the separator will appear. If you select a horizontal line between rows, the separator will be a horizontal separator along that line. If you select a vertical line between rows, it will be a vertical separator along that line.

When you are working in the Define Keys mode, as discussed in the "To Create a New Virtual Keyboard Variation" topic, separators will appear as blue lines.
