Hi All,
It doesn't sound that difficult to change to compressed speech
when you need it.

I think it's just as easy to turn it on when you want it as it
would be
to set up a file-specific database. Are we so lazy that we can't
hit the
appropriate hot-key? <smile

Hi Terri,
I agree with you.
That would certainly be helpful.

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.

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
