Hi Rhonda,

There are three or four things to do. Some of them are necessary and some are merely added convenience. In no particular order they are:

1. Turn off Jaws's grade 2. Jaws won't do this automatically like the PAC Mate does. Unless I customized my system it's NavRow 23.

2. Open the file in WordPad. I think it handles form feeds a bit better than Notepad, and once you maximize WordPad it stays maximized.

3. Set Jaws to 6-dot-braille. This gets rid of those pesky dot 7's. The script name is BrailleToggle8Dots. It is not assigned to a key by default so use Keyboard Manager. I assigned mine to Navrow 16 since I never use that key.

4. Navrow 17 toggles whether to move the active cursor when you use a display movement key. For some strange reason turning this on is necessary to eliminate wide margins.

This should give a reading experience almost as good as the PAC Mate. It won't remember your location between sessions though so you'll have to mark your position somehow before you close the session.

I think I've covered all bases: Turn off Grade 2, six dot braille, braille moves active, WordPad. If things ain't pretty please say so because I think there will be a cure for any remaining problems.

Have fun,
