You can easily switch in future between Edit Mode and Read Only Mode by entering shortcut command
z+B8B9.
Notes:
Write-protected documents can easily be distinguished from open documents in edit mode on the
braille display by the appearance of their cursor. In editable documents, the cursor is displayed
with dots 7 and 8. With write-protected documents the cursor is identified with a flashing dot 8.
The appearance of the cursor can be set by going to Main Menu > Settings >Braille > Cursor. We
strongly recommend using different cursors to help indicate when a file is write protected, or not.
When navigating within the file list, use the Navistick to move down or up the list. Moving left will
exit the current folder and move up a level. Moving to the right on a folder will open that file and
show the list of files contained within it.
Folders are shown with the + symbol prefix to aid in the identification of folders versus files.
12.1.8 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.
12.1.9 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.
12.1.10 Closing Documents
The word processor supports having multiple documents open at the same time. Documents remain open
and ready for editing until they are closed individually.
To use the bookmark function in .rtf files, place the cursor at the desired location in the text before closing
the document and save its position Command menu / File / Save ).
This bookmark can also be inserted and saved in write-protected documents.
Here are the instructions to close a file:
1. Open the command menu by tapping S3.
2. Select File > Close.
3. If the document has been amended or edited but the changes have not yet been saved, you will
be presented with a security question asking if you wish to save changes first.
4. Select "Yes" to save these changes.
5. If other documents are still open, you will be taken to the first document. If no files are open, you
will find yourself in a blank document.
You can access the Close dialog more quickly in future by using the shortcut command u+B8B9.
Note: Documents use up working memory while they are open. If you ever notice performance issues,
consider closing any files that you no longer need.
12.1.11 Saving Documents
Open documents are not automatically saved. Text-based files are generally saved in .rtf format and can
be found in the Edit folder on VarioUltra's internal storage media, Flashdisk. Other folders can also be
specified as save locations. VarioUltra remembers which folder was last selected and suggests it when
saving or opening other documents. In addition to the default RTF format, documents can also be saved
in text-only format (ANSI or UNICODE).
