 Well good afternoon everyone, it's Roy McConnell here, it is 3.31, we are scheduled to start at 3.30 and as usual go for one hour until 3.30 or until we are done. So today on the agenda we've got Wendy talking about Braille 2000 and some of the features that it has that perhaps are a little bit more advanced than what you might be using on a typical day-to-day basis with that software. So we look forward to Wendy sharing her extensive knowledge about that software program. But before we get going again we've got a prepaid commercial announcement coming your way from Nelson Nicolaisen, chair for the 2018 Vision Teachers Conference. So here you go Nelson, take it away man. Thank you Roy, just checking, can everybody hear me? Roy, etc. Yes, perfectly. Oh lovely, I'm just going to assume the long list of people, Mickey and Leslie and Tracy and all those wonderful people can hear me as well even though they're all muted. Hi Wendy, how are you doing? I'm good now. Yay, I haven't seen you in so long. I know, it's been a while. Okay, prepaid announcement Roy was talking about. I'm assuming my colleague from Calgary Stephanie will be logging on shortly. I don't see her on the list yet but she was having difficulty. So I logged in last month to say hello to all you fine Braille list. You are the frontline people of all our Braille kiddos and I want to thank you personally and I actually know most of you personally so that's a really good thing. As many, hopefully when you logged in last month knew I was trying to do a promo plug for next year's conference. We had one last year in British Columbia and it's every two years. There's an annual conference that educators across Canada get together and the pre-conference usually has something really wonderful for Braille lists and this one of course, the usual topic for you guys is U-E-B or unifying with Braille. So there was a whole pre-day conference of that. If you want more details on that, one of your co-presenters today which would be Gaila Garland, she can tell you a little more details about that. But the idea is next year when the conference rolls around and it happens to be rolling around into the Edmonton area so those of you who are close enough, that'd be Calgary people as well as people way off in Lloyd Minster could come to this conference and learn either in the pre-conference or any of the sessions during. So this is not only a promotional plug to say make sure your principals and your staff at your school next year know that for professional development you'd really like to attend this conference and we're hoping to keep costs down to a reasonable for everyone to attend as well as if you're staying at the hotel, whichever one we end up going with. We're still negotiating whether it's going to be Westminster Mall or not. But we'd also love it if you guys would volunteer and there's wonderful opportunities to volunteer at the conference itself whether that means you get to offer sighted guide for one session to one of the participants who flew in from Montreal and they happen to be using a guide dog or a white cane and you get to guide them to the next session as your contribution to the volunteering of the conference or maybe you decide to jump on the bandwagon with Gaila and whoever else might be a transcriber under her. And when it comes to the accessibility of all of the different materials at this workshop you could help participate by making all those UEB materials alongside with Gaila and it'd be a great opportunity to work side by side with her as well as gain that extra experience. And hopefully our presenters send you stuff at least two months ahead of time so that you're able to produce it. That's really it. If you want to see more about the conference I just posted the link on the chat window so if you haven't clicked on the chat button at the top you should do that now and hopefully it appeared to everybody the Seeing Beyond the Horizon conference in May next year there's the link and if you go to the link and you are interested in volunteering but you haven't quite figured out what there's a link right on the website that says Call for Volunteers and you can fill that out and really the best part about this thing is it will not go fly off the ground unless we have volunteers to help make it fly so please buckle your seatbelts and help us get the airplane off the ground. That's it for my babbling, hey Roy? And that was indeed some babbling though. Amen. Okay, good. But thank you very much for it. Appreciate it. All right, long enough. Thanks everyone. Okay, thanks now. Okay, with that out of the way Wendy it is over to you, my dear. All right, good afternoon everybody. I hope everybody can hear me enough. I can adjust my volume if need be. Just a kudos to Gaila Garland too. She's standing by to help me if I stumble or if there are questions posed or if I forget anything. We got together and worked through a little bit of what we're going to show you today. Roy said advanced. For some of you it might be advanced. For others it might not be. I worked through the program outside of what I normally do in my box and found a few extra things that I'll share with you today. And I'm just hoping to introduce Braille 2000 to those of you that are new to it that this will allow you to get started with it as well as those that are already using it daily and maybe you'll learn something new today. That's the goal. So just a little bit of background. I know last month Neil presented on Duxbury and he had a good point. We get comfortable using the software that we're familiar with. My history goes back to when I started in the Braille world I did everything on the Perkins in my course and that was out in Ontario. Even my final exam everything was on the Perkins. So I started at the school ready for the student in September. Nels happened to come out and say well here's the computer. Braille's something and I went wow okay. So I plugged in WENDY. He said what are you doing? I said clearly I don't know. Give me the Perkins. I can show you. But my idea was hey I'm fine. I can do the Perkins. Nothing of software was introduced in my course. I knew nothing about six key entry and knowing what I know now boy my student would have graduated long and I'd still be back doing grade 10 resources on the Perkins. So I am comfortable in Braille 2000 because at the time Edna McLafferty was my mentor is still and that's what she was using. I didn't know of Duxbury at the time and so Braille 2000 was what the school purchased and with the support of Nels as the vision consultant and Edna as the transcriber we proceeded with Braille 2000. I do have Duxbury. I'm just not as familiar or I don't use it daily as I do Braille 2000. So with that I'm going to walk you through some of Braille 2000. So I brought up my screen. I have an icon on my screen and I just click on that and it brings up my Braille 2000. So I've already done that. I've adjusted this here. I can go even bigger but I've adjusted it so you guys could see a little bit easier today. So I'm going to leave it big and hopefully it doesn't mess me up. Otherwise I'm going to have to go back to a little bit smaller. But anyway, right off the bat we're just going to show you how to import a file and save a file and then I want to work through this tool panel toolbar with you and show you some of the neat things that Braille 2000 does. Okay. So first off I'm just going to show you here this import button. I'm going to click on that and then I'm going to insert and I'm going to choose to insert a Braille file. It's going to give me options where to look. I can look on my desktop. I can look on my jump drive which is called Kingston in here and I have a whole swack of files. But I'm going to go back to my desktop and there I've put a couple things on for this webinar and it's going to be a Braille 2000 file just because that's what I've saved it as. So I'm going to click on that and it's going to open. So there we have that's just a simple way so you import and you can even insert a print file if you'd like. The same either off your desktop in your documents or wherever you've saved it. So then to save it you may save it here if you go menu file save as and I'll show you different ways to do that too. So I'm going to save this one back to my desktop and I'm going to call it just call it file one and it's a B2K file and that'll save it and if I minimize this and show you now it's saved it over here onto my desktop back into Braille 2000. So that's just an easy way to get in to files and to have something open. If you wanted to you could work through Braille 2000 and open a new work area it would give you a blank one and then you could go again into import and insert a different file but for now actually I will I'll insert my next one this takes a minute because it's a larger file. There we go so there's my title page of a novel. Okay so now we're just going to work through the control panel on the left here. So first of all if we look at this little window called help on that we have all our little help topics that Bob Step is the inventor of Braille 2000 and he's gone in and put a little help window in here. So you can find a lot of topics and then help window if you're having some issues getting started and we're just going to get out of that and go back. So that's your little help window. Bob doesn't mind emails as well. I know there's been some glitches in version two that we're still working on sorting out and we've been keeping track and Ed has been good at sending him emails. I also noticed just the other day that a new version of Braille 2000 I think a couple days ago came new and I'll show you where to fetch that after. I didn't want to mess with anything because I knew I was ready for the webinar and everything was working the way it was. Sometimes with an update there tends to be the odd little glitch and I just didn't want to mess with that today. So now if we look at our menu tab and we hit the menu we're going to look at a couple things first and adjust. So here if you notice my suspect words are pink. I know when it comes with system default I think it's red. I don't particularly like red screaming at me so if we go to our menu and then we go to our display we can click on all sorts of things. So if I go down here and show you for instance the suspect words with the B I've changed it to this light magenta. We can change it to any color we want to suit us we can happier our eyes so if I went and changed it back to red clicked OK it changes that. You can also change your interpret bar so see how mine is kind of a light blue they call that a light blue you could change that as well so I'll show you that again if you go menu adjust and then your display we could change that so I'll show you under the interpreter it's light blue and if I decided OK today I feel like I want to look at green we can change that to green and if we click that back out and show you now it's green so that's just a little personal touch it doesn't change your braille it just changes how you look at your screen and if you look at your screen as many hours in a day I do I like to customize a little bit OK so next if we look at the menu and same under adjust we're going to go over to document and in this case I know we have two sizes of braille paper we use we use 40 cells per line in our large braille paper in the smaller braille paper that's 8.5 by 11 it's only 30 cells so we would change this to 30 we would apply it if you were doing it all for younger grades 30 cell line which is the younger grades and you were doing a lot of it you could change it to your system default or if you were just working on it for one resource you could change it to the all of file and see how it shrunk it down to 30 cells per line now I would have to go in and adjust because my title page now is carried over to the second page but it's gone ahead and shrunk that down so again that was menu adjust document I'm going to go back and put it to 40 cells and then I want it to apply to all of file and if you look here where it says left and right padding for centered text according to braille formats we need to have three blank three sorry three blank cells on either side of a centered heading so this is already programmed in for us it won't allow us to go any further and it gives that margin on either side of the three cells so that's what that little is there I only do single side embossing I don't have a interpoint embosser so it's kicked to my single side there and I'm going to click it back to all of file and it's returned it now to my 40 cells okay one other thing I want to show you and adjust is emphasis there is a couple different places where we can look for emphasis but in this one it shows us here plain italics bold and underlined so here it says current paragraph but we could highlight something oops I'm going to do that again I'm going to highlight something there's an easier way to do it but I'm just going to show you this highlight this menu adjust emphasis and I want that to go to italics and then it says highlighted text so that's yes and so here it's added I'm binging here it's added my italics passage indicator the two cells there and it has terminated it here because that's all that I highlighted to go into italics okay we're going to move on now to under the menu bar and there's different ways to do do so that you can go menu at the top click do it brings up this whole table or there's a do button halfway down in your toolbar here with the little light bulb do that brings up everything and more times than not I just right click and it brings up most of the do's and what I need to have happen right here so it's what you get comfortable with and how you work your keyboard and towards the end of this webinar today we're going to show you a lot of shortcut keys for people that are having issues with their wrist and don't want to use the mouse much then there's a whole bunch of different keys so anyway right click do middle of the control panel do or menu do so we're going to go up here to this do for now they all do the same and an interesting thing and I don't know if anybody is aware of this but the grade relaxer so the grade relaxer for people that are transcribing for multiple students it's nice to have this grade relaxer so I just have something under student one you can adjust the profile so if your student is just beginning to learn Braille and they've learnt certain amount of their whole word alphabet contractions you can click off the ones that they have to make that all green or click it and say they don't know rather they don't know quite they don't know people and then you can work your way down here one thing to note in this grade relaxer that hasn't been updated to UEB is it still has the cuddled words in UEB we no longer use those cuddled words so you have to make sure if you're using this grade relaxer that those are turned red so that will just show you that it won't do that and then also we don't use the BLE contraction anymore and we don't use the ATIOM and the ALLY so this is something that Bob hopefully will adjust and then we've got some short form words we don't use the o'clock anymore so anyway you can do that and then you can go generate a report or push okay that will update it so that would have gone through and done this file into that grade relaxer for that student and if you wanted to let's say I just did that and I wanted to generate a report so if your teachers wanted to see what your students were working on or if your vision consultants came and they wanted you to work on certain contractions wherever there's a little heart that's telling you that the student is aware and using those contractions so you can adjust files you can insert them fully contracted Braille and then drive them and then adjust some to students so even if you had two students looking at the same article but one student was not fully contracted and the other was you could adjust the profiles and this saves you from having to transcribe the same resource more than once you just adjust the profile okay and now we're going to go back to do and we looked at the grade relaxer and now we're looking at the layout I'm going to skip over that one and click on layout control this layout control I was having trouble I was having a blank line on my line 25 was always blocked out and it wouldn't let me put any Braille on that line it just happened in a couple of resources and I don't know it's just the way it was formatted but anyway this box here skip page it doesn't allow any Braille if that is ticked off automatically line 25 is blank out and it doesn't allow you to add Braille to it so if you're having trouble with that you can check this and uncheck it and that will allow you to use Braille on line 25 that's all I wanted to show you in there I believe because that's the problem I ran across okay I'm going to insert a new file so I can show you a couple other things okay so this is the table of contents I'll put my interpreter bar on so you can see table of contents chapter 1 so now if we go to menu do and we go line number chapter 1 starts on page 4 so I'm going to put 4 in there I want to have guide dots because there's more spaces so it allows the Braille reader to have the guide dots long and then we click on that and it inserts with the guide dots my page number so again for my chapter 2 menu do line number and now this one is page 8 so we're going to click okay and that allows again for the next page number that chapter so when I inserted it it looked like this it had the double spaces and the pages so then I would just work through this and either right click on here do line number or I can right click do line number and then I would add page 11 and okay so this is where my table of contents that way and then all my page numbers are nicely lined up with the space with guide dots to help the student work across to the page numbers so then the next thing if I was working through this this is where my table of contents ends I now have my chapter 1 so the next thing I want to do is bring this down to the next page so instead of doing that in my space I could go menu do sorry this one I'm just going to right click and go Braille Page Break so again that's right click Braille Page Break that jumps it down to the next page so anything now that's I hope you can see on my screen it's light blue that won't allow anything to be brailed in there so even if we work now in the rest of this file and things get shifted around move down move back it won't mess with this page so everything that's been formatted and saved will stay like that so that's pretty cool so that's our page Braille Page Braille Page Break sorry tongue twister so now I want to number my pages in this file so if we go menu do and I could do page numbering up comes this little box and this is the novel it's not a textbook but I want to show my print and my Braille so I'm leaving it as that I said I think that number four was for my first chapter one so we'll put number four in there and it is no longer transcriber generated page in the chapter so it's going to be our Braille page one we click okay and if you notice at the top that's our print page number number four the right top and at our bottom it didn't change for some reason it's making me liar okay I'm going to do that again do page numbering okay I'm not sure why that didn't change I'm going to see if it goes and it's being stubborn I'm going to do a new work area I'm going to import a different file I'm going to see if this works okay let's try this again menu do page numbering number four and I want this to be number one there we go that worked okay so then the next thing we're going to just assume that we have a lot more Braille on the page our page number five starts at this paragraph I'm going to put my interpreter on so it starts at Cami's mom rolled her eyes so then we can go back to here do which is a long way to do it and we can go next print page so automatically it's going to enter your next page which is number five if for some reason your number four went through onto another page it would automatically just show up in your right hand corner as a number four and until you go for your next page number then that will insert your number five there okay again you can do it through here or you can do it with your right click page numbering okay okay and because this is the novel I'm going to assume that I want a running head so either I can do the chapter name or the novel name I tend to do the novel name so here we can go menu do and then if we go down to running head it allows you to type in here so I'm just going to say the river and click okay I want it on all pages the same there's a little box up here and I want it on all pages and I click okay and now it's added at the top the river chapter one my format has to come down but we're not talking about format so anyway okay so again that's menu do and you can go down to do running head and then it comes up and you can adjust that if you need to please feel free to ask any questions or if I'm going too fast or if you want me to show something else then I'm happy to do that okay so I'm going to open just a new work area here a blank page and for the next thing we're going to go in we're going to go menu and I'm going to point out a couple things in edit so here we're going to look at insert and then here this is where I was playing around I tend to not rely on everything and this is important so you also to know your Braille and not just assume that a resource can be copied and put into Braille 2000 everything's going to be like the split it doesn't always work that way I'm going to show you an example here of a couple French words so we have Chateau I'll put my interpreter bar on and we have Mayor and that's how it looks when it's first when I first came across it in an example I was doing so now if I go menu edit sorry menu edit insert we have international characters so on Chateau I know that there is the accent circumflex and it's on my A so first of all if I go back to where I wanted I want it on my A and then find my special character nope my international character sorry and go to my circumflex and I want the A now you have to be super careful because if you look down on my interpreter bar it's not just giving me my accent it's also put the letter A in there so we need to get rid of our initial A that was there and we have our A with our circumflex accent and the next example here with Mayor we know that if one of our accented letters is part of a contraction we can't contract that so ER menu edit insert my international character and this time I want the grow accent on the E and again it's given me an extra E so I need to remove my one E so you have to make sure you still know your rules you still don't just think okay I'm going to click that A and it's going to put it in there it's going to show that you have an extra letter so that's just something I wanted to point out to you that the international characters are there but be careful how you use them and I have gone through and checked them with the manual and as far as I know there aren't any mistakes there but when in doubt check your book please and don't just assume there aren't any errors okay the next thing I'm going to show you is I'm just going to say the following has been changed oops there we go okay so we can go to our menu again we can go edit and back to our insert and we can now insert RTN symbols so I'm not sure where I left my cursor let's see if this okay let's put it there so menu edit insert our TN symbols and I want my opening one so there we go we know that the TN starts in cell 7 so I'm going to squish it over it shows it's showing me here what cell I'm in cell 6, cell 7 and then again I can go to my menu edit insert my TN symbol and now my closing one and those are correct those are our new ones so I tend to know them I just happen to know them because I've done them enough before I discovered this so if you know them and you can direct input them there probably faster than going to your toolbar and finding that then that's fine but if you're not familiar with them and just know that they're there then you can direct them and be done with it and know that those are correct I did double check that so sometimes when we're brailing even if it's a worksheet for a student the teacher's worksheets and she might refer to something in a box on a worksheet that's important so in Braille we want to retain that box so this is another thing that we can insert the boxing line so again we go to menu edit insert and if we go down here we have boxing line now it gives us the option so obviously we're going to start with our top boxing line so there you go I used to go like this I used to manually put that in so obviously this is this is better so let's just say we had a couple things in our box that's wrong and then again we can go menu edit insert boxing line and then our bottom and those are correct our top boxing line is our lower G and then our bottom boxing line is our upper so that's just a way to do your boxing lines and then you can continue on that so those are a few things I just wanted to point out when you go to menu and edit I'm not going to go through everything but those are things that you might come across and that you might want to use we did show you a little bit about file and import so it's also done there in the menu bar and then otherwise right here there's the import button so you can find things in Braille 2000 in multiple places and whatever works best for you and you'll get comfortable in working I just want to point out there is a way I'm just going to go new work area and I'm going to down here put this on print mode and then I'm going to go over here and I'm going to open up one of my files here on my desktop this is a word file and I just want to let's say I just want to import this part so I can highlight that I can go control C for copy then I can go back to my Braille program it's in print and then I can go control V oops there we go okay so and then I can go back and hit the B for Braille and it'll show you now sometimes if you don't insert it when it's in the print mode your contractions and some things can go a little bit off but now if we click over to the Braille and we look we put our interpreter bar on and the people contracted the will contracted so it looks like we were using the but our contractions worked out okay that way so you can copy and paste a word file and that was just something I showed you there but the important thing is to make sure that you do it in the print mode first and then convert it back to the Braille and everything should be fine don't just assume again that everything's fine you still need to proof and format according to rules and making sure everything's fine for your student there okay where are we here then again we can in this menu bar we can do I'm sorry I'm going file there we go file menu file and then we can do a new work area again here if we wanted to click on it we can also do it from where I've done it on the control panel halfway down if I get out and show you new here so again there's multiple places where we can look at stuff file if we wanted to open a file we could do it here okay now I'm going to go out of this menu bar just for a minute and this was new to me I didn't even look back in the old version to find out if it was there but I've noticed this math little button here so we're just going to click on that for a minute and I'm going to actually going to click back for a sec just to get a new work area and then we're going to click on this so I just kind of worked through some of these and some are not great and some are okay to use so when we click on this first one it shows some of our math tools here for greater than or equal to and that is correct I've gone through and looked at these to make sure that they're correct not equal to I tend to direct input all these just because I don't know I don't know if I'm more trustworthy I think than the program but or if I do them the first couple of times when I use the program I'll make sure I look them up in the guidelines to make sure that they are correct so that's that little button and if we work through some of them are not all up and running yet obviously that's noisy in this one we have our times divides and our bullets symbol so if we click on those let's just say number one and then times number two equals then that shows us that it's inserted our multiple this ring operator I was a little bit confused about what that meant and that ring operator is not the degree symbol it's the same as a hollow dot so in the technical guidelines there is an example on page 53 where they use the hollow dot and I'm not entirely sure where this ring operator heading came from but that was something I had to look up because I wasn't familiar with that and then our bullet oftentimes unless we use bullets and that's the correct bullet symbol there are a few arrows here that if you're doing something and you want to click the right pointing arrow and sorry I didn't have a space there let's go left pointing arrow so some of the arrows again I would double check in your book to make sure that those are all all correct before you just assume that they're in there correctly there are Greek letters that's not the Greek letters where are my Greek letters now that I've extended this over it's in a different order than what I have in my notes but here you go here's some Greek letters and you have to let's just click on beta and see what comes up so there you go so that's the lower case Greek for beta know that if you wanted a capital you would still have to insert your capital indicator and then they even have a few different things here for math I just want to show you so if you had a fraction they've showed you the opening fraction indicator and then A over B and your closing fraction indicator you have to remember that some of these symbols require a grade 1 indicator so you would have to insert those and know the rules when those are needed so in this case we would need a grade 1 indicator before the opening fraction indicator and before the closing one so we could either insert it here before or we could use a grade 1 word indicator and that would work for the whole for the whole equation just to show you an example of a square root expression so this is your opening radical they have X and then your closing so if it was the square root of 25 and again we would need our grade 1 indicator on our opening because that has a grade 2 contracted meaning then our number sign puts us into grade 1 mode so we wouldn't need it before our contracted meaning for ING or this is the close of our square root anyway that's overlapping a little bit of UED rules but you have to know that when you use some of these tools that it doesn't automatically have your grade 1 indicator if it's required in the context you're working so another thing to be aware of so I have not used a lot of this in the math that I've done I have a couple more units to do for grade 3 level I'm not sure they'll be able to come across some of this but I'm going to try it and just work through it and see how it works and then at the bottom there's something that's called a chart map and it has all sorts of different things on here that you can click on if they're darker then they're okay if they're the lighter gray they're not worked yet so I'm just going to get a new line again and go back into that chart and if we go under punctuation then there's our our dash so some of those are there some of those we know it's probably faster for us to direct input then to search for them in here but it's just interesting to know that that's there and he's working on Bob Step Braille 2000 guys working on making it a little more user friendly for some of our math I know does it a whole different way and I'm not completely familiar with that and the math type and everything involved but anyway I wanted to point that out to you that's something completely new to me and it is there under the math little tab so now back to tools if we look at this file management button this big one here now and click on that this is where you can get your software update so if I click on that and scroll down here the latest update was made yesterday okay I'm not that up to lunch yet so that was just yesterday it came up on my computer when I first opened it this morning saying there was an update I chose to ignore it for now like I said just to work through this program and I'll install that later so all you have to do is click on that and click okay and then it will start to upgrade in Braille 2000 and then it would do an update it would shut down you have to restart your computer so we're going to ignore that for now because we don't want to mess with that and then under file management two if he's lost a file you think okay I know my filing system isn't always the best and usually I can find things but if I can't find something you can click on history now this is going to take just a few minutes I have a lot of figures that I've brailed in this program but I just want to show you that it does listed by there we go it lists it by alphabetical order but on these ones I have a number two in front of it but if I scroll down then it starts with a snicker of and then it will it'll go through a bunch of files and hopefully it hasn't disappeared completely I can find it somewhere in there that I've done or if I have a question I've done or if I've had a question saying hey have you done that novel and I can't find it where I put it elsewhere I can go into that again so that's your file management button and history and that's the same place you go for file management and back for your software update okay moving on you guys are quiet I want to show you I'm going to get a new work area and I need to import a file so I'm importing a braille file and I'm going to bring in my novel again it takes a few minutes when it's a big file I think this one is over a hundred pages so there we go okay so now my suspect words are still screaming at me in red so we can go back and change that now that we know how to do that but for this I'm going to show you how to do a find and replace so I'm going to scoot over to my page 73 because I know there's something there I want to show you okay and I'll put my interpreter bar on just so you can see here we have a long dash and we know in braille unless in our resource there's long dashes and short dashes we only use the short so I have a long dash there if I go down to my line 9 here there's another long dash there so I want to change those so I'm going to highlight that I'm going to go over here to my search button and I'm going to find text I've already highlighted it so it puts it right there for me I'm going to replace it with just my regular dash I want to replace all and I'm starting from the top so we're going to replace all so now if you see here it's replaced it to just a dash I go down to my line 9 it's replaced it to just a dash but now it's saying that this word is suspect and it is because next to a dash word signs next to a long dash if I put that extra cell in there we can't use so we have to remember to go back and change that to our alphabetic in this case are just so even though we've done that and changed it out and it's gone through and changed it through my whole file I can't remember where there's more but there are more it'll change it through your whole file so that's kind of neat to save you going in and manually changing it through this whole article through the whole resource there's a lot of those in there so that's your find and replace okay if we look at this adjust button here it's the same that we can access when we go up here so again there's just two places in braille 2000 you can find it and again we have our insert button here this is where our international characters are this is where I did the TN symbols this is where we did some boxing lines but that's the second place because the first place we did was up here with menu edit insert so it's a little bit faster it's right there insert on our toolbar do button here so this is where we can also up in our tool button do it's there multiple places do and don't forget your right click you can do a lot of the do's there and that's when I tend to use is the right click then if we look down here at the A B P S I only ever use the braille view and if you look at the bottom here say, excuse me, braille writer and if we change it to the print view it says typewriter now this is like the ASCII view which I do very seldom in and don't have my head wrapped around it but some of you might be more familiar with it and then this is the source view and I'm not entirely sure when but it's showing the source view so something to do with files and sorry, I'm not familiar with that so braille view and print view and then next to that we have our four little buttons and these are our emphasis buttons now a lot easier to do it right here than to try to go through here and find it down here and go through it so right on the toolbar we have our emphasis so let's just say I want this right I'm clicking that, highlighting that and let's say we want it bold so now it's gone ahead and bolded that sentence that I highlighted it's given me my bold passage indicator at the beginning here and then at the end so all those words are bold for that sentence and it's given me my termination indicator for my bold termination indicator here because that's the only part that I highlighted and then it's carried on in the regular text I just completed the novel and every first paragraph of every chapter was bold so then I could just highlight that bold it made sure that it was passage and terminating and we were good to go so that's a lot easier just to access those right there so let's go back to my title page here so this little button here will center so if I was doing everything left aligned and I had a title and I wanted it centered instead of the old way in our course where we have to figure out how many cells for center we can just kind of cheat a little bit in Braille 2000 and click this button and it puts it right into the center for us centered text so again if you don't want it centered you can just click this button or center it back okay so next we've done our file we're ready to go we have our running head we have our page numbering we're good to go we're set to emboss so we have our emboss button now just beneath halfway so if we click on our emboss button the emboss that I'm using right now is Romeo 25 it's good to go I can either pick all my pages from pages 1 to 10 and it'll emboss or you can do selected pages more times than not I'm doing all but anyway so that's your emboss button your print button I have to manually change mine to my printer now on here you can do sin Braille dots you can also change this to print print and then print this off so again I have to change it to my printer and I want it to be then interpreted Braille and it will Braille off the print I use this a lot when I do little novels that way I insert the print opposite the Braille so if a student is reading in class with a partner or if they're taking home reading the parent or to the teacher then the print copy is opposite the Braille I always put it on the left so the Braille student has their Braille on the right for easier reading and then the print copy is on the left so when they open up a double page print is on the left and the Braille is on the right and then that student can be partnered with a sighted student or with a parent at home like I said or a teacher for reading practice and it works really well to do that okay let's go back to Braille now this style here I have it centered because this is the title page and I want it centered if I didn't I can click in here and we can say okay I want everything in box paragraph one one I can apply it to my current paragraph let's just say and it's taking it over to one one let's just or I can highlight something go in here and check my style I'm just going to say one one just to show you apply it to my highlighted text and move everything into one one so that's your style button I think there's probably something down in here that I haven't done so this is all when I inserted the file it was all box but if I wanted it to be paragraph I'm just going to show you a section of it and I want it to be indented three carry over in one I don't want it double space so I'm not clicking that I'm applying it to my highlighted text you could apply it to the whole file it says current paragraph highlighted text all a file or rest of file we'll just say highlighted text for now sometimes it doesn't like coming out of it there we go and now it's all started those in and it is I mean don't look at the spacing because that's the monkey file I worked in but anyway so it's taking it to sell three carry over in one that's what I wanted to point out to you okay and then next is just our interpreter bar here so we can have it off we can have it on we know how to go in and change menu adjust our display if we want to change the color of it and we can interpret our print we can change it in here I hardly ever go in there I just turn and it'll interpret okay now this next little box is kind of important it is a little box when my toolbars but it's not at such little one here so right now it's showing that it's the International Council of English Braille and it's UAB and it's contracted if I went to other and I wanted it in different languages it has it has that I could do it in just a second here this is where I wanted to go uncontracted and let's just say apply to all a file now it's gone in and if I put my interpreter bar on I'll show you see it's taking it out of contracted to uncontracted and this again is where we could go in and adjust it for our student for their contractions if we didn't if we wanted it partially contracted we could do that in our great relaxer okay the last thing that I wanted to show you we are running out of time I didn't think I talked this long there are some keyboard shortcuts real quick that I'll show you so I'm just going to show you on this page so if I did control A that highlights everything and then I could go control C to copy it and I could go new work area control V would paste it now I probably did the whole 109 pages because I did the whole file but anyway it's coming there we go so I copied and pasted it so control A I selected all control C was copy and control V was pasted and then you can do a control F is find so then I can go I want to find let's say and and I want to replace it with four and I want to replace all so that's your control F is find control O is open control P is print so either for embossing or printing save a file so that'll bring it up where I want to save it I want to save it on my desktop novel save and that'll be on my desktop control X so if I highlight this line a partial line control X it'll get rid of it and I think oh goodness I didn't mean to do that I didn't want to cut that out of there I can go control Z and it'll bring it back so control Z is undo so I know that there are people like gala for sure uses a lot more of those short cut keyboard shortcuts than I do and she probably has more of a list than what I've showed you now we are at 429 I was hoping we'd have time for questions I hope the pace was okay I know that I probably didn't share as much advance as what the program does there are other things Braille 2000 does if you have any questions about what was done today or if there's something specific that you are hoping you'd see today and didn't you can contact me for sure I'm happy to answer your emails and if there are a lot of questions on things we didn't cover today more in depth I know Bob goes way way more in depth and if you're finding yourself that you need the program to do more than what I showed you today then please feel free to contact me and we can work that out together so we could always go part two down the road Wendy for sure for sure we could so I'm looking at my clock saying 430 so I'm done excellent well that was that was wonderful thank you very much for your time Wendy and hoping that this was beneficial to all of you out there and I think if there's anything that you know came up came to mind I'm sure Wendy wouldn't mind to answer a question email so with that we will wrap it up and have a great evening everyone
