Hi all. Has anyone experienced this? I have a 40 Cell Brailliant display. While reading in Microsoft Word, paragraph tabs start on around cell 12, and every line begins at cell 6. I'm using line mode and fixed increment panning of 40 cells. I have tried all the other conbinations and nothing changes. Also, often when I'm panning through a paragraph, I'll have one line that only has two or three words, and a whole bunch of blank space on the right as well. Near as I can tell it's when JAWS reaches the end of its own line. SO I got the braille line, but then the JAWS line too. Any way to merge them so the braille display just reads and ignores the end of lines like that? It's making using a display a bit counter productive let me tell you. Anyone have any ideas? I've got the display panning set to do from cell 1 to 40 as well. I've tried googling this to no avail. It only seems to happen in MS word. I thought it might be individual settings, but they all seem to be the same.
It doesn't seem like it's the fault of the display. It's probably your word margin settings, if I had to make a guess.
Yeah, I did think of that, and experimented with different margins. It did not fix the problem though. What I'd like to try is the 8 pixels per space toggle, but the Brailliant doesn't seem to possess that feature.
Hmm have you given the company that makes the display a call? Maybe try various things with them on the phone.
I was trying to avoid that, but it might be necessary since, like with so many access tech issues, just googling the answer doesn't help much.
Yeah call the company. Sorry we aren't much more help.
If only they could make braille displays much more robust and less fragile.
