5. Word Processor
When you launch the word processor on the Braille Sense OnHand, the
Braille Sense OnHand will place you in a new document that is ready for
you to write in. The menu can be opened by pressing “Space-m (dots
1-3-4)” or “F2”. Don’t worry if you can’t remember the exact shortcut
keys for each of the menu items, since you can activate various
functions of the word processor by activating the word processor menu.
The menu in the word processor consists of file, edit, go to, read, and
layout. In order to use these menus, press “Space-m (dots 1-3-4)” or
“F2” in the word processor, select a menu item, and press “Enter” or
press “Backspace” and the corresponding character that represents the
menu item name. For example, in order to open the edit menu, press
“Space-m (dots 1-3-4)” or “F2” to open the menu, and move to the next
menu by pressing up and down arrows (“Space-1” and “Space-4”) to find
the “Edit” menu, and then press “Enter”. Or, press “Space-m (dots 1-3-
4)” or “F2” and press “e (dots 1-5)”, which represents the “Edit” menu.
The “Edit” menu contains a lower level menu. The “right arrow” is
displayed at the end of the menu name, and it is spoken as “pull down”
after the menu name. If a menu contains a dialog box, “..”. will be
displayed after the name of the menu, and it will be spoken as “common
dialog”.
Before going in to more detail about the word processor, it is also
important to note that while you are anywhere in a document, you can
find out your location by pressing “Space-1-5-6”. Also, if you are editing
a document, and turn the Braille Sense OnHand off while you are editing
a document, the Braille Sense OnHand will say the status when you turn
the Braille Sense OnHand back on. In the next few sections the
features of the word processor will be explained in more detail. We will
also explain the functions of each of the menu items available in the
word processor.
