Hi,
To get letters, put dots 5-6 before the letter.
As for the whole picture, yes, you got the essentials. I think
Aine's method would be more useful: be aware that part formatting
would be added or lost between braille and Word documents. And
you cannot read DOCX files yet - the best method to handle these
is saving the docx as either a txt, rtf or pdf file from the
computer's end or using converter websites.
Cheers,
Joseph

You can save the file you're in as another file type. Press
space with s,
and you can change the filetype with backspace with x. So that
means you
can save your MS word file as a KW braille file, edit this
Braille file,
then save that as word. Be ware that sometimes the formatting
can be lost
from word to keyword files... I'm no expert on this but I know
I've had to
reformat stuff in the past if I've convertedit. and then
there's the
matter of stuff like (a), (b), (c) will come out (a), (but),
(can)...

andedit Microsoft Word Documents With The Braille Note Apex BT32
Hi, all.
I'm trying to figure out the best way to read and edit Microsoft
Word
documents with the Braille Note Apex BT32.
From what I'm reading in the manual, I can see two possibilities
here:
1. Bring the document directly into the Braille Note via the
"open file"
option under Word Processor, and use computer braille where
needed to do
the
editing. This could be a problem for me, since I'm not
extremely
familiar
with computer Braille; or
2. Translate the file into a Braille file first, and then
import it into
the Word Processor from there. If I'm interpreting things
correctly,
this
might not necessitate using computer Braille, but would involve
two extra
translation steps--one when I import the document into the BN,
and the
second when I export the document back to a Word document for
use by the
sighted world.
Am I expressing things clearly here, or just confusing issues
way more
than
they need to be?
Thanks for bearing with all my questions to the list lately.
I promise that I won't ask questions without trying my best to
find out
answers first.
Sincerely,
Dr. Tom Behler from Michigan
