Chapter 4: Word Processor Application.
In addition to previously described methods for opening the Word
Processor from the Main Menu, you can also enter the shortcut
command w+B9B7B8. Since it's the most used application, the Word
Processor can also be opened from anywhere in the Braille Notetaker by
a long press of S1.
The Word Processor application can be used with:
_
Word DOC and DOCX files. These can be read and edited. If
edited, files need to be saved as RTF.
_
PowerPoint PPT and PPTX files. These files are read only and
cannot be edited.
** New ** with v1.4: PowerPoint Show PPC and PPSX files.
_
_
Rich Text Format (RTF) files. This type of document can be read,
edited, and created.
_
Text (TXT) files. This type of document can be read, edited, and
created.
_
Read or create BRF braille documents.
_
Read BRL documents.
4.1 Typing a Document.
The factory default file format is BRF, which is a braille file. With BRF
files, you can freely type whatever you want, regardless of accuracy and
regardless of braille code. It can even be Unified English Braille (UEB). If
there are no other opened documents and/or this is your first time using
the Word Processor application, the application opens a new blank
document, with the cursor at the first braille cell.
Things to remember:
_
Align the palms of your hands in the direction of the front corners of
VarioUltra. When you do this, your fingers should align perfectly with
VarioUltra's ergonomic keyboard.
_
For space, use the right thumb key, B0.
_
For backspace, press B7.
_
For return, press B8.
_
To move the cursor, use the Navistick, or press a cursor routing
button above the character where you wish to place the cursor.
_
To move backwards or forwards through your document, press D2
to advance backwards, and press D5 to advance forwards.
