Dear Terry, Yes, I could block text, copy it to the clipboard, create a new document and paste it into the document, close the document and emboss it. That's a lot of work!. It would be so much nicer if Keysoft had a emboss block feature.

I have spent most of the afternoon : trying it out. I'm not the brightest person when it comes to using things : like this, so it took me a while to get it connected. : : It works very well with my Index Everest-D and my Mpower. I would like to : say "beautifully", but the MP is having a hard time recognizing it. I have : to put the infrared pointer snugly against the port. The infrared port on : the MP is much smaller than the one on the classic. : : I have also received some error messages. The full contents of the error : message doesn't appear on the braille display. It only appears in speech. : The braille will show that the MP sees the infrared device. I wonder if : there's a bug somewhere. The work-around I have been using is to press the : escape key, press e for emboss and e to emboss a document and even go : through one or two more steps until the MP kicks in, says embossing is : complete and my document is finally embossed. Once you know the document is : embossing, you don't need to go through any more steps. : : There are some suggestions I have for HumanWare to do which would improve : embossing documents: : : 1. I would like to be able to emboss a document while it is still open. I : would like to be able to emboss a paragraph or a block of text. This : feature could be added to the block menu. : : 2. I would like to be able to emboss the current page of a document. : : 3. I would like to be able to emboss specific pages of a document, such as : page 1, 4, 10, 20, 50, etc while the document is open. Sometimes only a few : pages in a document need to be embossed over again and these pages may not : be in sequence. : : All in all, I like the infrared to parallel converter and it's worth every : penny I spent on it. : : Terri, Amateur Radio call sign KF6CA.
