OK, thanks. From your message I get it, that there should be a way of having WE read the resulting line, when pressing F3, in Notepad. Mine doesn't do that, simply just says 'find next'. Anyone know, why this difference in behavior? Which setting do I need to change here? It would be warmly welcomed, if anyone could please point me in the right direction.

The only difference for me is that Window-Eyes reads Each new line. Therefore, speech feedback is correct, but Braille is not. Suzy! The Blind Avenger!

From: David [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 15 June 2009 07:00 To: WE English mailing list Subject: Text search in Notepad & Braille display To show one exact example, of my problem, copy and paste the below 20 lines into a blank document in Notepad. You will find, that there is 20 lines, holding the word 'program' followed by a consequtive number - running from 01 to 20. This is just to make the example more straight to the point. I realized the prblem yesterdqay, as I was doing some editing in a text document of a few thousand lines, and where I had to do the foolowing search task. 1. Copy and paste the lines into Notepad. 2. Goto the top of the document (CTRL-HOME). 3. Press CTRL-F, and the edit box for the search term, will open. Enter 'program' (omit the apostrophes), then press Enter, followed by the ESCAPE key. 4. Your Braille display will now show 'program 01' 5. Press F3, to go to the next found occurance of the word program. 6. Your Braille display will still show program 01. Press F3 twice more, and finally, your display will change to 'program 04'. 7. Press F3, again, and notice that the Braille line does not change, until the THIRD press on the F3 key, when it all the certain Changes to program 07. 8. Continue the above steps, but now try to press END, after each F3 pressing. You will notice, that the Braille display now shows up the actual line, that F3 takes you to - program 08, program 09, program 10, program 11, etc. Seems like WE has a bug here. Muy Braille display is running in the 'constructed' (that is the normal WE Braille) mode. Hope this will be fixed, before 7.1 makes its final release. Another thing, first we are talking about the search feature, it would have been great if the user could have set we to Read-Out the line it landed on, when doing a search. As it is, WE simply just announces 'find next', on each pressing of the F3. Quite little helpful, and rather anoying, when you are searching through a text, where you have to do several F3-presses, in a row. If you want to know, what the search actually got you to, you will have to do a up arrow, and then a Down-arrow, to have WE speak out the actual line. Many years ago, actually I am of the oldtimers who started out with DOS, I used a screen reader, which had the capability to define macros, on the cursor, and function keys, even on the tab, and backspace keys. This meant, that the user could make F3 do the search, and then the reading of the line, or whatever feature he wanted carried out. HM! Really one of these cases, when not all step forwards, and new software, is really steps forward. :) What if WE had such capabilities? :D --- Copy this text into notepad --- program 01 program 02 program 03 program 04 program 05 program 06 program 07 program 08 program 09 program 10 program 11 program 12 program 13 program 14 program 15 program 16 program 17 program 18 program 19 program 20 --- Example text ends --- If you reply to this message it will be delivered to the originalsender only.
