This is Joseph. You don't have to install ActiveSync. On the BN side, when mPower prompts you to choose the port, choose Bluetooth. At the PC side, select the Com port to where Bluetooth adapter is plugged-in, such as Com 3. >From JAWS windows, go to Options, then select Braille. At the Braille display options dialog box, select Add buton. When JAWS says things about braille components, navigate until you reach BrailleNote. Uncheck the box if it is checked, then check it again. Click on Next. When it asks you for the Com port, select the Com port associated with the Bluetooth adapter. Click on Next several times, and at the last screen, click Finish button. You jmust restart JAWS after this procedure. I hope this information may help you. P.S. Make sure that Bluetooth is active on both sides, and start Braille terminal before starting JAWS.

I agree I hope something can be done to improve access to certain Word files. My question at the moment relates to using the BrailleNote as a Braille display via bluetooth. I have downloaded the Jaws PC Keyboard Emulator and have read the instructions provided. I have managed to get the BrailleNote connected via serial port but am having no luck with bluetooth. I saw a couple of references to needing Active Sync and this is what I am seeking clarification about. I do not want to transfer files between my PC and mPower via Active Sync as I use other methods for this. I want simply to use the mPower as my display. Do I need to have Active Synnc installed on the PC in order for this to happen? I was attributing my problem to the fact I am using a bluetooth adapter on my PC but I do not currently have Active Sync installed on it so wondered if that is actually the issue. There are two bluetooth ports - com4 and com8 - and I have tried configuring both of these to Jaws (at different times) with no success. Any advice welcome.
