Dear List,
I don't know if Keysoft 7.2 has fixed this problem or not, but
Keysoft 7.0
shows bullets a computer braille dollar sign ch bullet and ch* if
you don't
have the cursor on it. The bullet sign for the US is dots 36,36
and I think
the UK is 456-23.
Here are the directions for making the bullets appear right in
grade 2
braille using QT commands. (Someone please translate these
commands for BT
users.
These steps must be done before you translate it into braille.
That's why
it's a good idea to open and read text files before you translate
them into
braille.
1. Go to the top of the file and press control f (space-f) f.
2. Press function x (backspace-3-5). At the "unicode character"
promp type bullet. Press
enter twice.
3. Type the correct grade 2 symbol for bullet. All of the
bullets will be
replaced with the proper symbol.
To make the bullet appear as a symbol in computer braille:
1. When you have a document open, press function with x
(backspace-3-5).
2. Press the space bar until you find bullet.
3. Press function with d (space-d) then a.
4. Type the symbol you wish to use. Only one cell is allowed.
5. Press y to confirm your dot assignment or n to change it to
another dot
combination.
Now, every time a bullet appears in a text document and your
cursor is on
it, you will see the braille symbol you have assigned to it.
I hope this isn't too confusing.
