Note: Deleting a file or folder from VarioUltra is final—there is no recycle bin. However, if the file you have deleted
is still open in the Word Processor it will still be on the RAM memory and can therefore be saved from there. To
delete the document completely from RAM memory, you must also ensure it is closed within the Word Processor.
Here are the step-by-step instructions to delete a file or folder:
1. In the file list, use the Navistick to move to the file or folder you wish to delete
2. Open the command menu (S3) and select menu item File > Delete.
3. A dialog will open with a security question and a message about the number of files in the folder and/or
the file size. Select the "Yes" option to confirm the deletion.
4. Deletion of multiple files or folders at one time is also possible. Please refer to the Edit Menu section
elsewhere in this manual for instructions on highlighting multiple files/folders.
The shortcut command B9+B7 can also be used to open the Delete dialog.
Note: If you receive a message that a particular file or folder cannot be deleted, it may be because it contains files
with activated attributes that make the file(s) hidden or read-only. Please refer to the "Properties" section below for
instructions on changing these attributes.
12.1.4 Rename a File or Folder
Changing the name of a file or folder is simple.
Here are the step-by-step instructions to rename a file or folder:
1. In the file list, use the Navistick to move to the file or folder you wish to rename.
2. Open the command menu (S3) and select menu item File > Rename.
3. A dialog will open with an edit box, which contains the name of the file or folder you wish to rename.
4. Enter the new name, being careful not to change the extension in the case of files. Select OK to confirm
the change.
12.1.5 Create a New Blank Document
A blank document can be created as either a regular text-based file (RTF, TXT), or as a Braille Ready
Format (BRF) file. The default setting is BRF.
Before creating a blank document, you should decide which option you prefer: the default BRF, or RTF.
Note that VarioUltra remembers your choice so creating a new blank document in future will skip these
steps unless you wish to change the file format.
Here are the instructions to create a new blank document:
1. Open the command menu by tapping S3.
2. Select File > New.
3. A dialog will open, with a text field where you can give your file a name.
4. Move down to the file type list and then scroll horizontally and select either BRF to create a braille
document, or RTF to create a Rich Text Format document.
5. Confirm with OK.
The file will now be saved in the selected file format with the current save location. You will then be
placed in the newly created file. To save the file at any time, use the shortcut command s+B8B9.
You can create new documents in future with the shortcut n+B8B9.
12.1.6 Opening Documents
The word processor of VarioUltra can open the following file formats: doc, docx, rtf, txt, and brf.
With txt format all ANSI, UNICODE, and UTF8 files will be opened correctly. For doc and docx formats,
files are always opened in reading mode. When editing such a document it changes the format type to .rtf
and saves in that format in order to protect the formatting of the original file.
Note: to open a document correctly the word processor needs 2 to 3 times more free memory space than
the file size of the document. As such, attempts to open a file of 10MB in size may not open. If you want
