Hi Cindy,
If you're smart, when you go to do a sudoku, switch your reading
grade to computer braille. I'm sure there's a shortcut key for
this, but I only know how to do it through the options menu,
under the braille display. If you're not smart, like me, you'll
leave it exactly as you have it, but put the cursor on a
character in the document, and then move around using either the
arrow keys, or dots 1 or 4 with space, and your touch cursors. As
long as that cursor is on a character in the puzzle, the number
signs will stay away. When you fill in the last number on a line,
they reappear, but only till you go down or up, when they will
disappear. HTH,
Rachael

A related question: I know how to do so Sudoku so I don't need
that
kind of help. I have been to the websudoku and followed Rachel's
directions for downloading and formatting. That part is fine.
However,
I set my BN up so that I have the number sign before numbers. In
any
other case, this is how I want it, but with the Sudoku it would
be
easier not to have the number sign so I can scroll up and down
the lines
and "see" the configurations but the number sign throws off the
alignment for doing this easily.
What can I do to get rid of the number sign only for working on
Sudokus?
Cindy

Terri:
I'd suggest doing the one that was sent out with the clues.
And just use
the clues. Don't be ashamed. It's your first puzzle, after
all. Using the
clues was what I did to get started. The clues pretty much
teach you how to
do it. Of course, you still have to practice and try
different methods for
yourself.
Do you understand the rows, columns and 3 x 3 squares? If
anybody doesn't,
I'd be happy to explain it off list. I know that a lot of us
blind people
have really bad backgrounds in concepts like graphs and xy axis,
cell
addresses and all that.
Happy puzzling.

Then you start working the puzzle. You'll have to replace
the dashes with
numbers, eventually, but remember that you have to check in
three places: 1
the little block of 3 x 3 squares. 2. The row, going
across. And 3, the
column.
I'd be happy to explain tthe concepts of rows, columns and
how to identify
cells to anybody who doesn't understand the concepts of basic
graphs. Lots
of blind people have had very poor education in this area,
and sudokus are
an excellent way to learn it.
