Functions with BRAILLEX EL c

You execute mouse functions on BRAILLEX EL c using the routing keys.

To perform a mouse action, move the reading window to the line where you wish to perform

a click. You can then perform a left mouse click at this position.

Press the routing key at the desired position. The active cursor appears on the character. A

left mouse click is automatically executed.

Pressing the upper routing key, an additional function for each single character will be

provided. By default, JAWS announces the current character and its attribute. In some

programs, the upper routing key also has a special function, e.g. in Microsoft Word, JAWS

will announce and display extended information about the current character format.

Text that does not contain a specific representation of the font is called "normal text". The

representation of the font does not depend on the color of the foreground or background.

Differences in the font are only considered a change if the characters differ from their

surroundings while using the same font. This distinction is called an attribute. For example,

the underlining of a heading is an attribute. JAWS can recognize and display many attributes.

Specifying an attribute for the current text is sometimes program-dependent. In Microsoft

Office applications, JAWS can recognize more attributes than in other programs.

Marking text with attributes can be done both on the Braille display (Braille marking) and

acoustically. JAWS settings determine whether the change is presented automatically or at

your request. For example, in the default setting, text that is colored in the background

(highlighting) is automatically spoken. This attribute is called highlight color.

On the Braille display, text with attribute is marked separately: Characters with an attribute

will be presented with dots 7 and 8 additionally. This way of presentation is called Braille

marking. Since all five available attributes get the same marking, at first you only know that
