Hi, Stacey,
Your idea will work, but every file is affected. Sometimes I am editing a
file and if I have the "apply to all documents" set to yes, and I save the
document I edited, all files will be opened as original.
HIMS needs to allow us to choose how we want each individual file to be
opened and saved.

Don,
There's aplace in that same area where you can choose apply to all
documents. This should save the compressed reading mode I believe.
Have a blessed day,

Hi,
Go to the word processor and open a document. Then, go to read, then
settings, and arrow through the settings until you find reading mode. It
will be set to original. Press space and it will be set to compressed.
Remember this setting change will not be saved when you exit the
document.

Where is the compressed reading mode,
I think I went through all the menu items particularly in the read menu
and
can't find it.
Or does it only apply to .brl documents or something.
Thanks
Tessa

Thanks Terri.
I wasn't sure of all the ramifications of using the compressed format,
but it looks like that's the best option at the moment. It really is
unfortunate that you can't save the setting for the document though.
I do understand that significant improvements/enhancements are planned
for the word processor at some point and I hope the ability to save
settings will be among them.

Hi, Don,
The compressed read-only mode will allow you to read a document without
seeing the line breaks. The drawback of compressed read-only mode is
you
cannot edit the document.
There are two other menu items which might be helpful to you. You can
turn off format markers. You'll still have the short lines when reading
the document in the original mode, but you won't see the marker. The
other option is to turn on the "skip blank lines." You can go line by
line and the BrailleSense will automatically skip blank lines.
But, no matter which mode you use, the BrailleSense will still see line
breaks as paragraph boundaries, so you cannot scroll from paragraph to
paragraph in .brf documents. This is a drawback and an annoyance to me.
The only work-around for this is to use the search command and look for
two spaces.
When you close your document, the compressed read-only settings won't
be
saved, so you must activate them every time you open the document.

Subject: [GWN] line breaks when reading .brf files
Hi all,
Sure been quiet around here lately. I'm reading a .brf file from
bookshare on by braillesense plus. It is reading just fine except that
every other line has 32 characters of braille and the other lines have
8 or so. Obviously it's an issue with the line length within the .brf
file and the sense is splitting it with 32 characters on one braille
line of the display with the remaining characters of the line on the
next display. Is there any way to turn off the line break in the .brf
file so the sense won't see these? I don't see any such setting in the
bs command list, but I could be missing something too.
It's certainly not impossible to read this way, but it really would be
easier if each display line was filled.
Thanks,
Don
