Opening Documents - Baum VarioUltra 20 User Manual

Here are the instructions to create a new blank document:
1. Open the command menu by tapping S3.
2. Select File > New.
A dialog will open, with a text field where you can give your file a name.
** New ** with v1.4: please ensure that your file name is entered in
computer braille (B9 + D1). Some contracted characters lead to invalid
file names, and are therefore not allowed. If you try to use contracted
braille, a warning message may be displayed, saying "Could not create
file". The only way to quit this message is to press a routing button
above any braille cell EXCEPT the first braille cell.
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.
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.

9.9 Opening Documents

The word processor of VarioUltra can open the following file formats:
doc, docx, rtf, txt, and brf.
** New ** with v1.4:
Power Point PPT and PPTX, as well as PowerPoint Slides PPS and
PPSX documents are also supported.
With txt format, all ANSI, UNICODE, and UTF8 files will be opened
correctly. For doc and docx formats, as well as PowerPoint, files are
always opened in reading mode. When editing such a document it
changes the format type to .rtf and saves in that format 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
to open several documents, we recommend you open the largest one
first. Also, please bear in mind that large documents can take time to
