4. Word Processor 

When you launch the word processor on the Braille Sense, the Braille Sense 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.  Dont worry if you cant 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 arrow keys (space 1 and space 4) to find the edit menu, and then press enter.  Or, press space-m (dots 1-3-4) 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 off while you are editing a document, the Braille Sense will say the status when you turn the Braille Sense 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.

4.1 File Menu

The file menu contains the menus that will allow you to create new documents, open documents that were saved to a disk, save any documents that were edited, and print in Braille.  It also contains various environment setting menus.  In order to select the file menu, press the space-m (dots 1-3-4), and press f (dots 1-2-4).  Or, press enter on file.

4.1.1 New

The new command creates a new document that can be edited.  By Default, the name of the new document is noname.brl.  The extension, .brl is the extension given to documents that are created in Braille on the Braille Sense.  It is the same file name that is named automatically when the word processor opens.  In order to create a new document, select new on the file menu.  Or, press enter-n (dots 1-3-4-5).  If new is executed while editing another document, Sense document (s) is displayed first.  If you press space-4 repeatedly, Braille document (b) and text document (t) will appear.  Select the document type that you want, and then press enter.  

New means that users can create a new document after closing the document that is currently being edited.  Closing the document that is currently being edited means that the document is erased from the temporary memory.  If a new document is executed without saving the document that is currently being edited, the Sense asks whether it should save the current document, so that changes to the document will not be lost.  When save? Yes is displayed, users can select y (by pressing the space key) in order to save the current document or select n in order not to save the changes.  If you select c by pressing space once more, the word processor will cancel the new document, and return to the current document.

Note that you can change the default document type, in the options menu.  By changing the default document type, you can choose to have your default document type as text, sense, or Braille. 

4.1.2 Open

The open command opens a document that has already been saved on to a disk.  Select open on the file menu, or press enter-o (dots 1-3-5).  You can access the file menu by pressing space-m (dots 1-3-4), or by pressing F2.  Then, a dialog box pops up, so that you can open a file.  The open dialog box is a tool that helps you find documents that you want to edit and read.  It consists of the file list (which shows the list of files or folders), file name of the field (to type in a file name directly), file format (which changes the file format when opening a document), a confirm button (for confirming the selection), and a cancel button (for canceling the selection).  In order to move between these controls, press tab (space-4-5) or shift-tab (space-1-2).  If the open dialog box is executed, file name: is displayed first.  If file name: is displayed, then type in a file name that you want to open, and press enter.  The file name should be typed in ASCII Braille.  The Braille Sense will look for that file in the /flashdisk/work folder.  If there are files that you used recently, you can scroll through them by pressing space-4.  The file names that were opened recently are displayed one by one by pressing space-4.  If the file that you want to open is selected press enter to open it.  In order to move to the previous file name in the list, press space-1.  In order to open a file with a different file format, press tab (space-4-5) to move to the file format selection, and then press the up arrow key (space-1) or down arrow key (space-4) to select a desired file format.  You can find and open a desired file from the file list without typing in the file name directly in the file name: box.  Press tab (space-4-5) several times to move to the file list, and then select a desired file.  You can also move to the file list by pressing shift-tab (space-1-2) when you are at the file name: dialog box.  The files in the file list have the file format that was selected in file format.  The file names and folder names are displayed.  The file names in this list are the files that have the selected file extension.  

You can select a file that you want by using the up and down arrow keys, and you can open the file by pressing enter.  If you select a folder and press enter, you will see the list of files in that folder.  If you want to move to the upper folder or to other folders, you can go to wherever you want by using scrolling keys, just like in the file manager in chapter 3.  

If you want to access a file that is on a compact flash card, or USB memory stick, you can access the file in the open dialog box by first moving to the file list by pressing shift-tab (space-1-2) or space-F3.  Then, press backspace until you hear the USB stick memory or the compact flash card.  Then, press enter to open the memory. 

The Braille Sense will choose the Braille mode depending upon the file type. For example, if you press enter to select a file that has the extensions hbl or brl, or if you type in a file name with those extensions and press enter, the Braille Sense will open the selected file in Grade 2 Braille.  You will not be able to change the Braille mode in these documents. If you press enter to select a file that has the extensions of txt or doc, it will open the file in what is currently set in "view mode" of "setting option. After the file opens, you can switch the Braille mode, as was explained in section 2.4.2.4. If you press enter at the other file format, you can select the file format; Braille format, or text format. You can toggle between Braille format and text format by pressing the space key. Press enter when the desired format is displayed. If the Braille format is selected, the document will be opened in Braille grade 2. And, if the text format is selected, the document will be opened in Braille mode that is currently set in view mode in setting option.

In the word processor of the Braille Sense, it is possible to open and work simultaneously with up to 10 files at one time.  If you already have one document open, and you try to open another document, the Braille Sense will ask you if you want to save changes to the document that is already open.  Then, you can save the file (see section 4.1.3 for a detailed explanation).  Once you have completed saving the document, an open dialog box will appear.  However, you will still have the two files open.  It only seems that you closed one without saving it.  With the new document open, if you want to go to the previous document, you can press shift-tab (space-1-2).  If you want to go back to the other document again, press tab (space-4-5).

4.1.3 Save 

The save command will save a document to a disk drive.  If you want to use this option, you can press space-m (dots 1-3-4) to open the file menu and execute the save command by pressing enter on it, or you can press s (dots 2-3-4).  Otherwise, you can press enter-s (dots 2-3-4) while editing a document.

If you created a new document by activating the word processor or by pressing enter on new in the menu; if you execute save, the save as dialog box will open.  You can refer to section 4.1.4 that explains how to use the save as dialog box.

If you execute save after you edit a document that was opened using the open function, the Braille Sense will save the document with the same file name without using a dialog box.  After saving a document, it will return to document edit status.
When you have several documents open, you can save the current open document, by pressing space-q (dots 1-2-3-4-5).  This will close the document, save it, and return to the previous document.

4.1.4 Save As 

The save as option is used to save a document as a different file name, on another disk drive, or as a different file type.  If you want to execute this command, press space-m (dots 1-3-4), and then press enter when the file menu is displayed.  Move to save as by pressing space-4.  Then, press enter.  Another way is to press space-s (dots 2-3-4), which executes the save as command in the word processor.  

If you execute save as, the save as dialog box is displayed.  This dialog box is almost the same as the open dialog box.  It consists of file list, file name, type (representing the file format), a confirm button, and a cancel button.  If the dialog box is opened, file name: is displayed.  You can move from one tab to the other tab by pressing tab (space-4-5) or shift-tab (space-1-2).

If you execute save as when you are editing a document that you opened, the displayed file name, file format, and the folder are the same as those of the file that you opened.

However, if you created a new document by executing the word processor or by executing new, and you execute save or save as, the displayed default file name is noname.brl and the file path is flashdisk/work/.

If you want to edit the file name that is displayed on the Braille display, press the cursor routing key where you want to edit the file name, and then modify it.  Or, if you want to make a new file name, type in the new file name without pressing any of the cursor routing keys.  You cannot use the following characters in a file or folder name. |, \, <, >, ?, :, * 

If you want to change the file format, move to type.  In type, move to the file format that you want by pressing space-1 or space-4.

If you want to save a file with a file name that is in the file list, move to the file list by pressing shift-tab.  When file name is displayed, select your desired file by navigating the file list with the same method that you used to navigate the file manager that was explained in chapter 3.

4.1.5 Close Current Document

The close current document command allows you to close the current document that you are working on without closing the word processor.  You can access the close current document command by pressing space-m (dots 1-3-4) or F2.  Then, press enter on the file menu.  Use the arrow keys (space-1 and space-4) until you find close current document, and then press enter.  Or, you can press q (dots 1-2-3-4-5) in the file menu.  You can also access this function by pressing space-q (dots 1-2-3-4-5) while you are editing a document.  Please note that this function will not work if you only have one document open.  You must have at least two or more documents open in order to execute the close current document command.  Otherwise, you will hear a warning message when only one document is opened.

4.1.6 Print 

The print command is used to print the current document in ink or emboss it in Braille.  If you want to execute this command, press space-m (dots 1-3-4) or F2, and press enter on the file menu.  Then, move to print by pressing space-4, and then press enter, or just press p (dots 1-2-3-4).  While editing a document, the hot key for printing is space-p (dots 1-2-3-4).  There are two lower level menus for the print menu.  One is for printing with an ink printer, and the other is for embossing in Braille.  Remember that you can move between the menu items by using space-1 or space-4.

1) Embossing in Braille

Open the document that you want to be embossed.  Press space-m (dots 1-3-4) to activate the menu.  Locate print in the file menu and select emboss Braille, or press b (dots 1-2).  If you select emboss Braille (b) above, the emboss Braille dialog box is opened.  Here you can type in the page number where you want the embossing to start, and type in the end page number, where you want the embossing to stop.  The following items are in the dialog box.  
    
(1) Start page number 
This is the beginning page number to be embossed.  The default page number is set to 1.  You can change the value of the page number, by typing in the value that is desired.  You can move to the next selection item, which is the end page number by pressing space-4.
(2) End page number
This is the ending page number that is to be embossed.  The default value is set to 100000.  It means that the document will be embossed to the end of the document, unless the document exceeds 100000 pages.  In order to change the value, input the number of the ending page.  You can move to the next selection item (which is the number of copies) by pressing space-4.
(3) Number of copies
This option designates the number of copies to be embossed.  The default value is set to 1.  You can change this number by typing in the number that is desired.  If you press space-4 or space-1, you will be moved to start page number or end page number, respectively.  If you want to move to confirm, press tab (space-4-5).
(4) Set Braille format
In this option, you can set whether or not the Braille document layout settings specified in Braille sense will be used when embossing.  If you set this to yes, the document will be embossed using the Braille document layout setting in Braille Sense. If you set it to no, the document will be embossed in the format specified in the original document.
(5) Confirm / Cancel
In order to emboss as designated above, move to confirm by pressing tab (space-4-5), and then press enter.  Or, if you are canceling embossing, move to cancel by pressing tab (space-4-5), and then press enter.
        
 If enter is pressed on confirm, Print? Yes is displayed on the Braille display and it is also spoken.  If enter is pressed on yes, embossing will start.  If you do not want to emboss, press space to select no, and then press enter.  If save as file is selected by pressing space, then the current document is saved as a brl file.  

If there are any problems with the Braille printer, the Braille Sense shows an error message and returns to the open document.

2) Print Text

This option is used when you want to print a document on an ink printer.  To do so, open the document to be printed and press space-m (dots 1-3-4) or F2, and then press enter on the file menu.  Move to print by pressing space-4 repeatedly.  Then, press enter when you are on print, or just press p (dots 1-2-3-4). Select print text by pressing space-4, or press p (dots 1-2-3-4).  The dialog box for print text is almost the same as emboss Braille.  But, with the print text, option font size is added.  The default value of the font size is set to 11.  If you want to change the font size, type in a number between 1 and 99.  The font size that is printed depends on the original document.  If you increase the font size, you can print the document with a bigger font than the default font size that is explained in print paragraph layout (refer to section 4.5.4).

After inputting the font size, press tab (space-4-5), and then Print? Yes is displayed.  If enter is pressed, printing will start.  But, if you press space to move to no, and press enter, printing will be canceled, and the Braille Sense will return you to the open document.

Note that the Braille Sense will work with all HP printers (level 3 PCL or higher), and with HP-compatible printers.

4.1.7 Settings 

If you want to change the environment, press space-m (dots 1-3-4) or F2, and press enter on the file menu in order to enter into the file menu.  Move to settings (e) by pressing space-4 repeatedly, and then press enter on settings, or just press e (dots 1-5).  While editing a document, pressing enter-e (dots 1-5) will open the settings menu.  

When this menu is opened, a dialog box is displayed.  You can move between the menu items by pressing space-1 or space-4.  To make a change for one of the settings, press tab (F3 or space-4-5) and press enter on confirm or cancel.  The following are the menu items that can be changed:

1) View format character (yes/no):  If this option is set to yes, all of the format characters are displayed.  If you want to change this option, use space to toggle.  Formatted characters will be marked with the carriage return ($p), auto return ($l) and the mark sign ($pl). 
2) Reading unit (line/paragraph):  It sets the moving unit when space-1 or space-4 is pressed while you are reading a document.  If this option is set to line, space-1 moves line by line.  If this option is set to paragraph, space-1 moves paragraph by paragraph.  In order to toggle between line and paragraph, press space.
3) Read only (yes/no):  If this option is set to yes, the document cannot be modified.  This setting is used in order to protect the document from any unintentional modifications.  If you want to change it to no, press space.  

Note that when you choose to select compressed on the option for reading with the Braille display, you set read only to yes.  When you are reading a document pressing a cursor routing key, will show a word or character corresponding to the operation of the cursor routing key. This will be displayed at a very left of the 32-cell Braille display.

4) Reading mode (original or compressed): 
	This option sets the reading mode. Reading mode original, will show the document in its original format.
	If the Reading mode is set to compressed, The Braille Sense will continue displaying contents even if there exists a carriage return ($p). In order to toggle between original and compressed, press space.
5) Auto scroll speed (1~20):  This option sets the duration of displaying one line while you are scrolling in a document.  Twenty is the fastest scrolling speed.  Pressing space makes the number increase, and backspace makes the number decrease.  Refer to section 4.4.5 for more information about the auto scroll option.
sic save interval (0~60):  This option sets the automatic save time interval of the file that is currently being edited.  If it is set to 0, the automatic save mode does not automatically save.  The setting time can be increased or decreased by 10 minutes if you press space or backspace, respectively. 
6) Apply settings to all documents (yes/no):  This option selects the settings only if they are valid for all documents.  If yes is selected, the settings will be kept for all future documents, and if no is selected, the settings will only affect the document that is currently being edited.  In order to toggle between yes and no, press space.  
7) Confirm:  If you press enter on confirm, you can change the settings and return to the current editing document.
8) Cancel:  If you press enter on cancel, it will cancel the setting and return to the current editing document.

4.1.8 Exit 

This command will close the word processor.  In order to execute this command, select exit in the file menu, or press space-z (dots 1-3-5-6).  If the document has been changed (or edited) and exit is selected without saving the document, a dialog box will ask you if you want to save the current document.  You can select (yes) with the spacebar and press enter to exit the word processor.

4.2 Edit Menu

There are two ways of editing documents in the Braille Sense.  The first is to insert your text, which will push back the words behind the cursor.  This is called the insert mode because you are simply inserting text.  When you are in insert mode, the cursor will show up as blinking dots 7-8.  The second is to overwrite text at the cursor location.  This is called the overwrite mode.  

If you start the word processor (or open a document), the insert mode is the default.  This will write text, while pushing back other words that are already in the document.  However, you can overwrite text while erasing the old text by switching to overwrite mode.  You can switch to the overwrite mode by pressing space-I (dots 2-4).  In the overwrite mode, you can change the old text into new text at the cursor location.  If you decide you want to go back to insert mode, press space-I (dots 2-4) again.  You can also access this function via the menu.  A detailed explanation of this function is found in section 4.2.12.

In the Braille Sense, you can edit all files regardless of what the view mode is set to.  In the edit menu, you will find the following items:  start selection, copy, cut, paste, delete, delete blank lines, add to clipboard, clear clipboard, select all, insert from file, insert date, change insert/overwrite mode, and check spelling.  If you want to open the menu, press space-m (dots 1-3-4) or F2, and then press enter on edit.  Or, you can press e (dots 1-5) in the edit menu.  Now, lets explore the edit menu.

4.2.1 Start Selection

The start selection command allows you to select a certain portion of text that you would like to edit.  When you use the start selection command, the cursor will appear as blinking dots 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8.  The start selection command allows you to make changes to only the text that is selected, and the changes will not affect text that has not been selected.  The start selection command is especially useful for copying, cutting, and pasting.  You can select text in a document by placing your cursor on the location where you want to start selecting text.  If you want to use this function, press space-m (dots 1-3-4) or F2 to open the edit menu, and then press enter on start selection, or you can press b (dots1-2) in the edit menu to get to this option.  While editing a document, pressing enter-b (dots 1-2) will activate this command.  The end point of the selected text is where you want to place the cursor after setting the starting point.  For example, if you have typed the word, mother in a document, and you want to select the word mother, you should place the cursor before the letter m, and then place the cursor directly after the letter r.  Then, you will have selected the entire word.

4.2.2 Copy

After selecting text in a document, press space-m (dots 1-3-4) or F2 to open the menu, and move to edit by pressing space-4.  Press enter to open the edit menu.  Press space-4 to move to copy and then press enter, or press c (dots 1-4) in the edit menu.  While editing a document, pressing enter-c (dots 1-4) will activate this command. 

When you copy the selected text, it will be copied to the clipboard.  The clipboard is the virtual space that is used for storing copied data temporarily.  However, if you decide to copy new text that you have selected, the data in the clipboard that you copied before will be erased, and the selected text that you have just copied will replace the previously selected text that was on the clipboard.

4.2.3 Cut

To cut a selection of text, press space-m (dots 1-3-4) or F2, and press enter on edit to enter into the edit menu.  Move to cut by pressing space-4 repeatedly, and then press enter on cut, or press x (dots 1-3-4-6) in the edit menu (which is the short cut) to cut your selected text.  While editing a document, pressing enter-x (dots 1-3-4-6) will activate the cut command.  

The difference between cut and copy is that if you execute the cut command, the text that has been selected will not be moved to the clipboard and the selection in the document will be erased.  However, the copy command will copy the selection to the clipboard, and the text that has been selected will not be erased from the document.

4.2.4 Paste

To paste selected text to the clipboard, press space-m (dots 1-3-4) or F2, and then press enter on edit to enter into the edit menu.  Move to paste by pressing space-4 repeatedly and then press enter on paste, or press v (dots 1-2-3-6) in the edit menu (which is the short cut) to paste the selected text from the clipboard.  While editing a document, press enter-v (dots 1-2-3-6) to paste the text from the clipboard.

4.2.5 Delete

To delete text that has been selected, press space-m (dots 1-3-4) or F2, and then press enter on edit to enter into the edit menu.  Move to delete by pressing space-4 repeatedly, and then press enter on delete, or press d (dots 1-4-5) (as a short cut) in the edit menu to delete the selected text.  When you are editing a document, you can press space-d (dots 1-4-5) to delete text that you have selected

4.2.6 Delete Blank Lines

In order to delete blank lines, you must select the area of the document where you want the blank lines to be deleted from.  Once this has been done, press space-m (dots 1-3-4) or F2, and press enter on edit to enter into the edit menu.  Then, use the arrow keys (space-1 or space-4), and press enter on delete blank lines, or press l (dots 1-2-3) as a short cut, while in the edit menu.  If you want to delete an empty line while you are editing a document, press backspace-e (dots 1-5), which is the short cut key for delete blank lines.
      
4.2.7 Add to Clipboard 

When you have selected the text you want to select in your document, you should press space-m (dots 1-3-4) or F2, and then press enter on edit to enter into the edit menu.  Move to add to clipboard by pressing space-4, and then press enter, or press p (dots 1-2-3-4).  While editing a document, pressing enter-p (dots 1-2-3-4) will activate this command. 

Add to clipboard is almost the same as the copy command.  However, with the copy command, the newly selected text will replace the text that was copied before.  The add to clipboard command however, will not erase the previously data from the clipboard when you use this command to copy the selected text.  It will keep the previously selected text, and the new text that you have selected will also be added to the clipboard.  

4.2.8 Clear Clipboard

To clear the clipboard, press space-m (dots 1-3-4) or F2, and press enter on edit to select the edit menu.  Move to clear clipboard by pressing space-4 repeatedly, and then press enter.  Or, you can press e (dots 1-5) in the edit menu as a short cut.  Once you have executed the clear clipboard command, everything on the clipboard will be erased.  When you are editing a document, you can press enter-d (dots 1-4-5) to activate this command. 
      
4.2.9 Select All

The select all command will select all text within a document.  To activate this command, press space-m (dots 1-3-4) or F2, and then press enter on edit to enter into the edit menu.  You can move to select all by pressing space-4 repeatedly, and then press enter on select all, or press a (dot 1) in the edit menu (which is the short cut).  While editing a document, press enter-a (dot 1) to activate this function.

4.2.10 Insert from File 

This command will insert another file in the current document that is being edited.  If you want to run this command, press space-m (dots 1-3-4) or F2, and press enter on the edit menu.  Move to insert from file (i) by pressing space-4 repeatedly.  Then, press enter on insert from file, or just press I (dots 2-4) in the edit menu.  While editing a document, pressing enter-I (dots 2-4) will activate this function.

When you use this option, an insert dialog box will appear just like the open dialogue box.  Select a file that you want to insert in to the current document, and press enter on the file.  Then, the selected file will be inserted at the beginning of the paragraph with your cursor.  

When you execute insert from file, the text inserted from the file will be converted to the file format of the current document.  Although the saved file that you pasted was in a different formatted document, the same file format will be kept as the current document.  For example, if you insert sample.txt in sample.hbl and save it, the saved file will be sample.hbl.
 
Note that if you are going to insert a Braille file in a text file, the Braille document will be translated back into a text document.  You can read it in Braille, but on rare occasions you might see differences in the translated text.

4.2.11 Insert Date

To insert the date into your document, press space-m (dots 1-3-4) or F2, and then press enter on edit to enter into the edit menu.  Move to insert date by pressing space-4 repeatedly.  Then, press enter on insert date, or press w (dots 2-4-5-6) (which is the short cut) in the edit menu.  Then, you can insert the current date and time where the cursor is located in your document.  If you want to insert part of the current date and time, you can modify what you want to change after completing the insert date command.  When you are editing a document, you should press enter-w (dots 2-4-5-6) to activate this command.

4.2.12 Changing Between Insert and Overwrite Mode

There are two ways of editing documents in the Braille Sense.  The first is to insert your text, which will push back the words behind the cursor.  This is called the insert mode because you are simply inserting text.  When you are in insert mode, the cursor shows as blinking dots 7-8.  The second is to overwrite text at the cursor location.  This is called the overwrite mode.  

If you start the word processor (or open a document), the insert mode is the default.  This will write text, while pushing back other words that are already in the document.  However, you can overwrite text while erasing the old text by switching to overwrite mode.  You can switch to the overwrite mode by pressing space-I (dots 2-4).  In the overwrite mode, you can change the old text into new text at the cursor location.  If you want to go back to insert mode, you should press space-I (dots 2-4) again.  You can also access this function via the menu.  Press space-m (dots 1-3-4) or F2, and go to edit using the arrow keys (space-1 and space-4).  Next, press enter on edit to enter in to the edit menu.  Then, use the arrow keys to scroll to find change insert/overwrite mode, or you can just press m (dots 1-3-4) while you are in the edit menu.

4.3 Go to Menu

If you want to open the go to menu in the word processor, press space-m (dots 1-3-4) or F2, and move to go to by pressing space-4.  Then, press enter on go to.  Or, you can press g (dots 1-2-4-5) in the menu.  In the go to menu, you will find the following submenus:  find, find again, replace, go to location, go to previous page, go to next page, set mark, go to mark, go to previous document, and go to next document.

4.3.1 Find

The find function allows you to search for text in a document.  Once the text is found you will be taken to that position in your document.  To execute this command, press space-m (dots 1-3-4) or F2, and move to go to by pressing space-4 and press enter on go to.  Then, select find.  You will be able to navigate the go to menu with space-1 or space-4.  Otherwise, you can press f (dots 1-2-4) in the go to menu, which is the shortcut.  While editing a document, pressing space-f (dots 1-2-4) will activate the find command.  If find is executed, the dialog box is displayed.  This dialog box consists of text to find, searching direction, a confirm button, and a cancel button.  You can move from one field to the next field by pressing tab (space-4-5) or shift-tab (space-1-2).
  
1) Text to find
The first field in find is text to find.  In this window, you can type in the text that you want to find.  If you want to find the text immediately, press enter.  However, if you want to set other fields in the dialog box, press tab (space-4-5) to move to the next field.
2) Searching direction
The next field is searching direction.  The default direction is next.  If you would like to change the search direction, you should press space.  Pressing space will toggle between next (forward direction) and previous (backward direction).  After you type in the text to be found, and set the searching direction, press enter if you want to find the text immediately. 
3) Confirm
After you set all of the fields and want to execute find, press enter on confirm.  You can also start finding text by pressing enter on text to find or searching direction.
4) Cancel
In order to cancel the find function, press enter on cancel.  Or, you can cancel the find command by pressing space-z (dots 1-3-5-6).

If you have executed the find command as explained above and it finds the text that you typed in, the sentence with the text is displayed on the Braille display, and completed is announced by the voice.  If there was no text that matched what you typed in, the cursor does not move and the Braille Sense displays no more searching data in Braille.  This function saves the text that was typed in last, as well as the direction, so you can use it again to search for the next occurrence of text.  

When using the find command, the current cursor position is very important.  If the cursor is located at the beginning of the document, it is better for you to select next direction.  If the cursor is located at the end of the document, it is better to select previous as the direction used for searching.

4.3.2 Find Again

When you want to run the find again command; you can press space-m (dots 1-3-4) or F2.  Then move to go to by pressing space-4.  Then, press enter on go to.

Pressing enter on cancel will cancel the replace function.

4.3.4 Go to Location

The go to location command moves rapidly to a specific location.  You can move to a specific page, paragraph, or line.  To execute this command, press space-m (dots 1-3-4) or F2, and move to go to by pressing space-4.  Then, press enter on go to.  Move to go to location by pressing space-4, and then press enter.  While editing a document, press enter-l (dots 1-2-3) to activate this function.  If go to location is executed, the word processor says, where to move?  If you type in a number here, the Braille Sense will take you to the page number that corresponds with the number you have just typed in.  You can also type the letter f (dots 1-2-4) before the number.  This will tell the Braille Sense that you are looking for a page number, and not a paragraph, or, line number.  Type in the number of the page you want to move to without the plus sign or minus sign, and then press enter.  The word processor will jump from start of the document to the specific page at once.  If you want to move forward from your current location, put the plus sign in front of the number and letter.  For example, if you want to move forward five pages, you would type +f5.  If you want to move backward from your current location, put the minus sign in front of the number and letter.  If you want to move to the previous page, type -f, and if you want to move to the next page, type +f.  If the page number you type in is not valid, the Braille Sense will say, move range error.

You can also use this function to move to a specific paragraph.  First, select go to location in the go to menu, or just press enter-l (dots 1-2-3).  Then, the Braille Sense will say, where to move?  Before you type in the number of the paragraph that you want to go to, type p (dots 1-2-3-4), and then type the number of the paragraph that you want to go to.  By typing in the letter p (dots 1-2-3-4), the Braille Sense will know that you are looking for a paragraph, and not a page or line.  If you want to move forward from your current location, put the plus sign in front of the number and letter.  If you want to move backward from your current location, put the minus sign in front of the number and letter.  For example, if you want to move backward two paragraphs, you would type, -p2.  If you want to move to the previous paragraph, type -p, and if you want to move to the next paragraph, type +p.  If the paragraph number you type in is not valid, the Braille Sense will say, move range error.

You can also use this function to move to a specific line.  First, select go to location in the go to menu, or just press enter-l (dots 1-2-3).  Then, the Braille Sense will say, where to move?  Before you type in the number of the line that you want to go to, type l (dots 1-2-3), and then type the number of the line that you want to go to.  By typing in the letter l (dots 1-2-3), the Braille Sense will know that you are looking for a line, and not a page or paragraph.  If you want to move forward from your current location, put the plus sign in front of the number and letter.  If you want to move backward from your current location, put the minus sign in front of the number and letter.  For example, if you want to move backward two lines, you would type, -l2.  If you want to move to the previous line, type -l, and if you want to move to the next line, type +l.  If the line number you type in is not valid, the Braille Sense will say, move range error.

You can also go to a specific line number on a specific page.  The Braille Sense enables you to type in this information at the same time.  To do this, press enter-l (dots 1-2-3), or you can select go to location in the go to menu.  Then, when the Braille Sense says, where to move?, you can type in the page number followed by the line number.  For example, to move to the 3rd line on the 20th page, you would type 20 3, or you could type f20 3.  When you use the command of the go to location function, you cannot use the + or - sign.  You can only go directly to the page and line number.

4.3.5 Go to Previous Page

The go to previous page command allows you to move to the page that is located before the page you are currently on.  To execute this command, press space-m (dots 1-3-4) or F2, and move to go to by pressing space-4.  Then, press enter on go to.  Move to go to previous page by pressing space-4, and then press enter, or press space-1-2-6 while you are in the document.

Then, press enter on go to.  Move to set mark by pressing space-4, and then press enter, or press m (dots 1-3-4) in the go to menu, which is the short cut.  While editing a document, press enter-m (dots 1-3-4) to activate this command.  

Move the cursor to the location that you want to mark, and press enter-m (dots 1-3-4).  Then, the Braille Sense will say enter mark name.  To name the mark, use the letters a through z.  For example, if you put down the letter a (dot 1), the Braille Sense will move you to that point in the document immediately.  If you are in the document, the Braille Sense will not show the mark sign.  If you selected view format character in settings, which was explained in section 4.1.7, you will see the bookmark sign in the document.  You can go to marked text by using space-3 or space-6, and the bookmark sign will appear, which is $pl (mark name).  If you move the cursor to the mark location in a document, you can see dots 7-8 all through the mark sign.  This means that the Braille Sense will deal with the marked text as a chunk, but not with every character one by one.

4.3.8 Go to Mark
