However, as a backup option, unsaved documents are saved in a special root location whenever
VarioUltra switches to standby mode. Normally after waking VarioUltra the documents are still presented
in the word processor, allowing you to save your work. But in case you have to reboot the device for any
reason without having first saved your document, you can find a backup of the unsaved documents in the
root folder: Temp \ Edit. The file names are created with date and time information. To access the Temp
folder in file manager, first open the command menu and select menu item View > Filter, and check the
checkbox "show internal files", and confirm with OK. It is not advisable to keep this check box checked all
the time, because of the risk that some internal files might be accidentally erased.
12.1.12 Save
The first blank file in the word processor is automatically given the name "Document", and it is located in
the Edit folder on the internal storage media "Flashdisk". The default file format is RTF, though BRF mode
can also be selected if you prefer. Every new document is created with the last selected file type; you can
change the file type during the save process.
Note: changing BRF to RTF or RTF to BRF is not possible. Please remember this when committing to
saving a new file in either of these formats.
Here are the instructions for saving a file:
1. Open the command menu by tapping S3.
2. The first menu option is File. Navistick to the right to open the sub-menu.
3. Move up or down to Save and confirm with B9 or press in on the Navistick.
4. A confirmation message will appear and you will be taken back to the document.
5. Remember that large documents can take time to open. A braille pattern on the first braille cell
will flash to indicate VarioUltra is busy. Do not attempt to switch off VarioUltra or otherwise
interrupt the process when this cell is flashing.
Save documents more quickly in future by using shortcut command s+B8B9.
Open files will always save by default with the name and save location specified when you first created
the file. Files in RTF format also save the cursor position so that you will be at the same position you were
when you saved the file. If you prefer to save files with different settings, read section 9.1.13 below to
learn how to save as.
12.1.13 Save as
To save an open document under another name, in a different format or to a different location, use the
"Save as" function. As a reminder, converting a BRF document to RTF format or vice versa, is not
possible.
Here are the instructions to save as:
1. Open the command menu by tapping S3
2. The first menu option is File. Navistick to the right to open the sub-menu.
3. Move up or down to Save As and confirm with B9 or press in on the Navistick.
4. The Save As dialog will open, and an edit box will appear prompting you to enter the file name.
Typing a new name will overwrite the old one.
5. To select the save location scroll down with the Navistick to be taken to an info field, which
presents the path.
a. If the path is ok, you can skip the "browse" option and proceed to instruction 8 below.
6. If you want to alter the path, select the "browse" option and a dialog will appear. This is where
you can select the desired folder.
7. Select the preferred file type (RTF, etc.) by moving the left or right.
8. Confirm with OK.
Note:
If you change your mind and wish to cancel the save as process, enter command B9+B7B8, or
press display button D4.
