Hi,
Thanks for this info and I'm not sure whether I'm misunderstanding something
but this isn't working for me.
The first thing to notice is when I was first trying this I wasn't switching
speech off first. This is what I was doing: go into the user guide; press
t for table of contents; can't remember the names of the sections but
basically I went to the section on using KeyBase and started reading it.
Once I've got to the beginning of the section I want to read I press space
1-2-4-5-6 to advance the braille display. Then I want to switch to KeyBase
and try out some of the things so I stop reading with Space 1-2-4-5-6. Then
when I come back into the user guide and it asks if I want to continue
reading that section I say yes but it's back at the beginning of the
section.
Then people suggested I press one of the routing keys before exiting the
user guide which I did but got the beep which usually means you're trying to
do something you can't.
Then when you said you switch speech off, I thought I'd try that. So after
finding the section I wanted I switched speech off with space and the third
navigation key and started reading with space 1-2-4-5-6. Got to the part I
wanted to stop at and pressed space 1-2-4-5-6 and then one of the routing
keys, then exited. This time there was no beeping sound but there was no
indication of a cursor either which I thought there might be.
But when I came back into the user guide and said yes to continuing reading
that section, I was back at the beginning of the section again.
Am I misunderstanding what to do? Is it possible to do what I want to?
Does it make a difference whether speech is on or off - I can't get it to do
what I want either way; but also I don't really want to turn it off, (I like
the fact that when you get to the section you want it only reads a few words
and then you can advance the braille display) - it's just I prefer reading
the braille for longer pieces of text and following instructions, but I'm
not confident enough with using the keyboard/pressing the wrong thing by
accident because I only use one hand so I like having the speech set to on.

Hi Catherine,
I have a mPower, so might be different, but I tried the following.
At the "Table of contence or Index" I answered "t".
This was all with both Braille and speach on.
I selected "Wordprossesser" and then "Braille and text".
I used <space>g to read through that complete subsection.
Then I exited back to the Main Menu, and turned off the speach.
So with just the Braille on, I then re-entered the User Guide.
Again it asked "Table of contence or Index", I chose "t".
This time I went for "General functions" and under that "Time options".
I read just a couple of displays worth of that and exited to Main Menu.
I then went back into the User Guide and was asked if I wanted to continue
"Time options", I said "y" and it returned me to that section.
How does the PK behave if you try something like this, or is that not
really what you meant?
Regards,
Steve.

Subject: [Braillenote] User Guide question
Hi,
When I use the user guide on the PK once I've found the section I
want to
read I read it on the braille display, not with speech. But when
I then
later go back into the guide and it says resume reading bla bla
section and
I say yes, it goes back to the point where I last used speech.
Is it
possible for it to return to the point where I was last reading
the braille?
Catherine
