The following is taken from the Braillenote QT users guide, it pertains to embossing the address book, which is what I believe Mr. Hernandez wants to do.
You may want to emboss a name and address or phone number, or a selection of them. From the KeyList menu select "Emboss addresses". KeySoft prompts: "Emboss or Set up embosser?" If you haven't previously set up the embosser, press S. The set up procedure is covered in 6.7 Embossing a Group of Documents. To proceed with embossing, press E, and KeySoft prompts: "Template name"? 10.7.1 Templates for Embossing. An address record is a series of fields, whereas an embossed page must have a specific format. So, to emboss address records, you must specify which fields you want to emboss, and how they should be arranged. This is defined by a template, which is a KeyWord document laid out with the required field names in the required arrangement. A template may also contain text and formatting information. There are two main template categories, namely Braille templates and text templates. To emboss addresses from the address list, you would use a Braille template. Conversely to print addresses from the address list, you would use a Text template. The convention used for naming templates, places the word "Braille" in front of the Braille templates. KeySoft is provided with several ready-made Braille and Text templates for copying, embossing or printing. There is a "Letterhead template", which produces a letter heading in the form: Line 1: (first name)space(last name). Line 2: (street address). Line 3: (street address, line 2). Line 4: (city)comma(state)(zip or postal code). Another ready-made template is called, "Phone List template", and produces a single line for each record in the form: (last name)space(first name) Tab: (street address)space(street address, line 2) Tab: (city) Tab: (business phone number). A new line is then created. Select a template for your purpose. If there is no template which suits what you want to do, you can modify or create a template as described in 10.9 Templates. 10.7.2 Selecting Addresses to Emboss. After you have selected the template, KeyList displays, "Selection list for Address List". If you want to emboss every record, press ENTER. However, you can select just those addresses you want to emboss. For example, you might type "Yoyodyne Inc." in the "Company name" field. When you have set up the required search field, or fields, start the lookup by pressing ENTER. KeyList displays the number of selected records, and prompts, "Emboss all selected records?" To do this, press Y. All the selected addresses are embossed, and you are returned to the KeyList menu. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Powers, Terry (NIH/OD/DEAS) Sent: Tuesday, November 01, 2005 3:43 PM To: Braillenote List Subject: RE: [Braillenote] address book question Hi Rhonda; What is a platform? Tom said he wanted to emboss the copy, which is kind of strange unless he intends to make a hard braille copy. He is preparing for a transplant, just like I am. Wouldn't you take the data off one unit, put it on a cf card and then transfer it to the new unit. What other way is there?

I believe, and could be mistaken, that because of the platform, it doesn't work the same way. If I'm wrong, from the Main Menu, go to Utilities, press B for twice. You'll see "backup from which drive?" Press F for Flash. Go to the KeyList folder, and press Enter. You will be asked which drive to back it to. You'll want the CF card. > ----- Original Message ----- >From: "Powers, Terry \(NIH/OD/DEAS\)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED] >To: "Braillenote List" <[email protected] >Date: Tue, 1 Nov 2005 16:27:42 -0500 >Subject: RE: [Braillenote] address book question >I have 5.1.
