Dear Shelley,
If you are reading a braille book and come across the slash sign, simply
delete the slash and press dots 4,6 using the j and l keys. Remember that
you will have to save the book as a Keyword document for the editing to be
saved.
If you are writing bold or italics in a text document for sighted people to
read, press control t for font. Press i for italics, b for bold and u for
underline.. Press n to turn it on and f to turn it off.
If you are creating a text document you plan to braille or emboss for blind
people to read, the only font supported is the italic font. That's because
in braille dots 4,6 stands for all three fonts. But the full version of DBT
supports them all.
I cannot remember whether or not the BN puts in the dots correctly. If you
are italicizing more than three words, a double italic sign should be before
the first letter of the first word and the single italic sign should come
before the first letter of the last word to be italicized. If you are
italicizing 3 words or less, dots 4,6 should come before the first letter of
each word. The full version of DBT will always do it right, but I can't say
for the BN, it's been so long since I tried it. The codes the BN uses are
not the same as the codes DBT Win uses.
To make sure the BN will produce correct braille, press shift hyphen and
underline everything manually in your text document. But if you plan to
have both sighted and blind people reading the document, then the sign
produced by shift hyphen will look odd to the sighted. If you have a PC and
DBT Win, you can write the font using the control t method, translate the
document into WP 5.1, copy it to a CF card, insert the card into your PC,
open the document in DBT Win, delete the asterisks Keysoft puts in WP
documents and translate the file. Then both sighted and blind readers will
be happy.
I hope this isn't too confusing!
