Additional information to the manual >>This section provides additional information and corrections to >>the manual. It contains quoted material found in the user guide >>to go along with this information. >>2.1 Note on Area Codes. >>It is a characteristic of Outlook that if you do not put an area >>code onto a phone number, it fills in the default country and >>area code for you, regardless of whether it is correct or not, >>and while you can change them, you cannot delete these codes >>entirely, so you have to have these codes even if the number is >>local. The phone number fields in KeyList do not do this, >>however; they simply take whatever numeric combination you type >>into them. This means that if a number in a KeyList record >>without a country and area code synchronizes to Outlook, Outlook >>will add the default one at the Outlook end, and the next time >>you synchronize, those codes will synchronize back to KeyList. >>However if you type a country and area code in KeyList, using a >>space between each code, Outlook will recognize these and sort >>them into the appropriate fields. For example, the number plus 1 >>415 8206820 in KeyList will synchronize accurately into Outlook. >>Note, if you are using a bt keyboard and you wish to enter these >>country codes, use a dot 4 before the plus sign. Otherwise, the >>plus sign will be translated as an ing contraction. >> 2.2 KeyWeb and virus protection >>Only HumanWare's proprietary software can run on the BrailleNote >>BT. KeyWeb does not limit the type of file you can download, but >>we strongly advise you not to try and run executables on your >>BrailleNote BT, including those designed to run on Windows CE. >>Doing this could cause irreparable damage to your BrailleNote BT >>and to KeySoft, and you do so at your own risk. This also means >>that the bn can not get a virus. >> 2.3 The Directory Option. >>To obtain information about a file, folder or drive, use the >>Directory option. From the File Manager menu, press D for >>Directory and KeySoft displays: "Drive? (Last drive used)," You >>can select the drive and then the folder as usual. KeySoft then >>displays a list of files in the selected folder. Review the list >>in the usual way. Let us say that you are reviewing the files in >>a folder, and the file name "Frank" is displayed. If you press >>SPACE with I, KeySoft provides information about the file. That >>might typically be as follows: "Braille document. Size: 945 >>bytes. Last modified: Saturday 24 May 2004, at 8:21 PM. >>Unprotected." This is what it will say if you use the uk date >>format. If you use the usa date format, it will say, May 24, >>2004. >>2.4 Printing to a file >>You also have the option of printing to a file. To do this >>follow these steps, >>1. Select the print a document option from the KeyWord menu. >>2. KeySoft prompts "print or setup printer?" Select setup by >>pressing so. >>3. You are presented with the printer setup list. The option >>you are interested in is the printer port. The factory default >>is USB. Change this to file. >>4. Press space with e and then p for print. KeySoft leads you >>through the usual steps of printing. >>5. After KeySoft displays printing of file complete, open >>KeyWord. Select the KeySoft system disk and then the none >>folder. >>6. Keysoft then prompts document to open? Select print to >>fileddtxt. What you printed is in this file. >>From, >>Bob Cavanaugh >>Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >>Cell: 206-418-8763 > > > >>-- >>Have a w >>Bob Cavanaugh >>[EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] >>Check out my forum at >>http://www.punbb-hosting.com/forums/middle_school or my blog, >>http://bobcavanaugh.blogspot.com > >>___ >>Replies to this message will go directly to the sender. >>If your reply would be useful to the list, please send a >>copy to the list as well. > >>To leave the BrailleNote list, send a blank message to >>[EMAIL PROTECTED] >>To view the list archives or change your preferences, visit >>http://list.humanware.com/mailman/listinfo/braillenote > > > -- Have a w Bob Cavanaugh [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] Check out my forum at http://www.punbb-hosting.com/forums/middle_school or my blog, http://bobcavanaugh.blogspot.com ___ Replies to this message will go directly to the sender.
