decompressed.
"OK" option closes the progress information dialog without interrupting a running process. The zipping or
unzipping process then runs in the background. The dialog can be opened again in the command menu
by selecting the entry Tools > Zip Progress.
"Cancel" option closes the progress information dialog and interrupts a running process. At the selected
saving location you may find either a damaged zip or no zip files at all.

12.4.9 Open a Zip File without Unzipping

You can open a zip file (zip archive) just to have a look at the files and folders inside. In this case the zip file can
be opened like a folder by moving the Navistick right. If the zip archive contains a folder, you can open it and have
a look at its files with a further movement to the right. Moving up / down you can reach the other files or folders
inside the zip archive. Highlighting, copying or opening the properties is possible.
Note: If you cannot close a folder or subfolder inside the zip archive by moving left, please open the File Manager
via main menu or the relevant shortcut.
Example: A folder "test" has a subfolder "folder-1" with the files "document-1" and "document-2" and a subfolder
"folder-2" with the files "spreadsheet-1" and "spreadsheet-2" inside. You zip the folder "test" to the zip archive
"test.zip".
When you open in file manager the archive "test.zip" by moving right, you are in the level of subfolders, i.e. "folder-
1". Moving further to the right you get the files of this folder. i.e. "document-1" and "document-2". Further levels of
subfolders are not supported.

12.4.10 Copy Single files/folders from a Zip File

You can unzip just a single file or subfolder within a zip archive without unzipping the whole archive. Therefore
open the zip archive and copy the desired file / folder by using the copy / paste options. During pasting the file or
folder will be unzipped.
If the selected file or folder was protected by password, the password dialog opens and you have to enter the
correct password.

12.5 Converting BRF to RTF and Back Again

As indicated elsewhere in this manual there is no option in VarioUltra for saving content from a braille file
(.brf) inside a Rich Text Format (.rtf) file, or vice versa.
The solution is to:
1. Open the document that you wish to save in another format. We will call this the source
document.
2. Create a new blank file in the format you wish to save in. We will call this the target document.
3. Switch to the source document and select all text with command B1B2B3B4B5B6B8B9B0 (all
keys except B7) or tap S3 to go to command menu item Edit > Highlight All.
a. Refer back to section 4.8.1 Highlighting for more information on highlighting text.
4. Copy the highlighted text to the clipboard with command c+B8B9 or tap S3 to select command
menu item Edit > Copy.
a. Refer back to section 4.8.2 Cut, Copy, Paste for more information on highlighting text.
5. Switch to the target document and paste from the clipboard with command v+B8B9, or tap S3 to
select command menu item Edit > Paste.
6. Save the changes made to the target document with command s+B8B9, or tap S3 to select
command menu item File > Save.

12.6 Exit Command Menu

To exit the Command Menu, just tap system key S3. You will be returned to the last place you were
working before opening the Command Menu.
