Hello All, Thanks for all of the responses. I have completed the changes and have tested the BrailleNote apex out with the MBA. Now, the trick is to learn some of the commands that are unique to the MBA. I have gone to Humanware's support page and read the command list for the Macs. There was one that didn't make sense and that was to pan to the right, which used the same command for panning to the left. I need to dedicate more time in using the Apex with the computer, which may not be until the weekend.
Thanks again for the assistance.

Just a quickie! After pressing VO+f8 each item in the table has a Command key+number so Braille would be Command+9 and will take you straight there! Command+8 for commanders and so on!

There you will see q checkboxes; Use Contracted Braille, and Use 8-Dot Braille. Modify their status to suit your needs. You might also want to turn off the status cells. Gordon has the Apex and these cells just wasted space for him. > > Warm regards > Lynne > > On 1 Oct 2013, at 14:52, Eileens Misrahi <[email protected]> wrote: > >> Hello All, >> >> Thanks for the welcome letter Gordon. Last night, I was able to pair my Braille Note with the MacBook Air. However I noticed the braille display using 8 cell braille with the computer. Is there a setting on the Air in system preferences that will only display a 6 dot cell configuration? I am not use to 8 dot braille and I am having problems reading the braille. I need to fix this first before learning all of the braille commands that are applicable to the MacBook Air. >> >> Thanks in advance for pointing me in the right direction to correct this. >> >> Best, >> Eileen >> >> >> Sent from my iPhone >> <--- Mac Access At Mac Access Dot Net ---> >> >> To reply to this post, please address your message to [email protected] >> >> You can find an archive of all messages posted to the Mac-Access forum at either the list's own dedicated web archive: >> <http://mail.tft-bbs.co.uk/pipermail/mac-access/index.html> >> or at the public Mail Archive: >> <http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/>. >> Subscribe to the list's RSS feed from: >> <http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/maillist.xml> >> >> As the Mac Access Dot Net administrators, we do our very best to ensure that the Mac-Access E-Mal list remains malware, spyware, Trojan, virus and worm-free.
