6.6
Reading by Cell.
Reading content cell by cell is achieved by moving the Navistick left and right along a row, or up and down
within a column.
When opening an Excel file for the first time, the VarioUltra reading cursor will default to cell A1. Using the
Navistick, move one cell to the right and the braille display will present the content and the cell coordinate,
which should now read B1. Moving one cell to the left will return you to cell A1. In a similar way, using the
Navistick to move down one cell within the column will take you to cell A2. The braille display will display
content for this cell, along with the cell coordinate.
If you wish to move to a specific cell coordinate within the current worksheet, enter command g+B8B9, and a
dialog will prompt you to enter the cell coordinate. Tap B9 and VarioUltra will go to this cell coordinate. This
option can also be found in the command menu under menu item Navigation > Cell.
Note: In the command menu item Tools, you can adjust additional settings for the Spreadsheet Viewer, and
obtain additional information about the current cell such as the row and column number, and any cell comment
if one exists.
6.7
Reading by Row.
When reading by row, VarioUltra will display the content of all cells on that row. You can use the Navistick or
D2 and D5 buttons to move left and right along the row. There are shortcut commands for moving the display
up and down by row, and moving to the first or last row.
If you wish to move the display to a specific row in the worksheet, use the command g+B8B9. In addition to the
shortcut commands that follow below, you can find navigation commands in the command menu under menu
item Navigation > Row.
Next row (down): B4B5 or D3
Previous row (up): B1B2 or D1
First row: B1B2B3 or D1D4
Last row: B4B5B6 or D3D6
The braille display shows the coordinates of the cells in the row, i.e. A1 – D1. The contents of the single cells
stand side by side in one line and are separated by vertical line. Use the Navistick or D2 and D5 buttons to
scroll along the row.
With the general copy command c+B8B9, you can copy the current row to the clipboard.
6.8
Reading by Column.
When reading by column, VarioUltra will display the content of all cells in that column. Cells are displayed
horizontally and are separated with the underline symbol. You can use the Navistick or D2 and D5 buttons to
move left and right within the column. There are shortcut commands for moving the display left and right by
column, and moving to the first or last column.
If you wish to move the display to a specific column in the worksheet, use the command g+B8B9 as outlined in
the Reading by Cell section to move to a cell in that column. In addition to the shortcut commands that follow
below, you can find navigation commands in the command menu under menu item Navigation > Column.
Next column (right): B5
Previous column (left): B2
First column: B1B2B3B7
Last column: B4B5B6B8
The braille display shows the coordinates of the cells of the column, i.e. A1 – A6. The contents of the single
cells stand side by side in one line and are separated by underline. Use the scroll functions as explained in
section 6.8 to read cell by cell.
With the general copy command c+B8B9, you can copy the current column to the clipboard.
