Open a Document
Opening a document from within the Word Processor is achieved through the command menu. The instructions
are as follows:
1. Open the command menu by tapping S3. This accesses the "File" menu.
2. Move the Navistick to the right to open the "File" submenu.
3. Move the Navistick up or down to the "Open..." item, and tap B9 or press in on the Navistick. If another
item is selected by mistake, press the general cancel command, B9B0+B7B8.
4. You are now at the top of a list of files and can use the Navistick to browse down. Here you will find
previously saved files.
5. To open a file, first scroll to it with the Navistick and then tap B9 or press in on the Navistick.
Note: By default, the Word Processor app only displays text-based documents such as RTF and DOC/DOCX files.
To change what type of files you see, follow these additional instructions.
1. From within the Word Processor, follow the instructions 1 through 3 above to get to the file tree.
2. Once inside the list of files, press display buttons D4+D6 to access the other options in the dialog; the
current path will be displayed.
3. Scroll down once using the Navistick, and the entry below the path will be the File Type list; the factory
default is "Text Files (RTF, TXT, DOC, DOCX) 1 of 3".
4. Now scroll right with the Navistick to select either "Braille Files (BRF) 2 of 3" or "All Files (*.*) 3 of 3".
Any change you make to the type of files to be displayed will now be remembered by VarioUltra.
You will need to repeat these instructions if you change your mind in future.
5. You can now use the Navistick to scroll back up to the file list. If, for example, you chose to display All
Files, you will now see BRF files in addition to any text-based file formats.

Toggle between Open Files
There are a couple of ways to toggle between open documents in VarioUltra. If you prefer the Command
Menu approach, tap S3 to enter the Command Menu and select File > Previous File.
If you prefer the shortcut command approach, you need to enter the minus symbol (-) plus B8 and B9. In
other words, B3B6+B8B9.
4.5
List Open Files
To bring a specific file to the top when several are open, tap S3 to enter the Command Menu and select
File > List of open files. A dialog will present itself and show all open files, including file names and save
locations.
Move to the right or left to access all the files. As soon as you have reached the desired file, press B9 or
confirm OK.
You can open this dialog more quickly in future with the shortcut command l+B8B9.
4.6
Close Document
While it is perfectly fine to have multiple documents open in the word processor, there might be times when you'd
like to close a file. Note that if you attempt to delete a document in the file manager while it is still open inside the
word processor, the file will be erased although content remains visible in the word processor until such time that
you close out of it.
1. Open the command menu by tapping S3.
2. Move the Navistick to the right to open the File submenu.
3. Move the Navistick up or down to the "Close" item, and tap B9 or press in on the Navistick.

If another item is selected by mistake, press the general cancel command, B9B0+B7B8.
4. Your current file will be closed, and you are taken back to the word processor. Note that if or when you
choose to close the only open file, you will be taken back to a blank document in the word processor after
closing the file.
4.7
Saving a Document
This section explains how to save files you create in the word processor.
1. Open the command menu with a short press of S3. This accesses the "File" menu.
