Subject: [Braillenote] Command Summary & Quotation Marks


Hello Terri & co.

In my humble opinion (and that of several of my colleagues (both sighted 
and blind), the Command Summary is structured correctly.  It follows in a 
logical manner with each of the actions required e.g. obtain help for 
current operation, preceding the commands required, e.g. SPACE with H, in 
the case of the BT.  As far as I can assess, the actions and their 
corresponding commands for Options Available at Any Point are all located 
in 19.1.3. 

In terms of the overall structure of the Command Summary,  it has been 
purposely set out so that it starts with sections covering the general or 
basic commands before moving on to more specific or complex commands.

In regard to your issue with quotation marks, I understand that they are 
smart quotes and that I need to somehow turn them off in Word before 
creating the electronic manuals. 

Kind regards

I went to the HumanWare site and downloaded both the QT and BT versions of 

the manual to read on my BNMP.  To my great disappointment and horror, 
chapter 19 in both manuals has text out of order.  Anyone reading the 
chapter for the first time would be confused.

Has anyone noticed this?  Does HumanWare have a corrected manual somewhere 

on its site?

Also, the quotation marks were wrong, just like they were in the 6.2 
manual.

Chapter 19 in both manuals has text out of order!  An example: the list of 

items you can access anywhere from Keysoft is in one place and the 
commands 
corresponding to the list is in another place.
