  1. Lesson Six

  2. Lesson Six • Block Commands Defining a Block Copying & Pasting a Block Deleting a Block Moving & Pasting a Block • Embossing

  3. Block Commands • Block commands enable you to define an area of text and then manipulate it. • For example, once you define an area of text, you can delete it or move it or copy it to another section or another file.

  4. Block Commands (continued) • Copying a block of text does not change anything about the text you define. You are simply making another copy of it. • Moving a block of text actually removes it from its original location and puts it in another place.

  5. Block Commands (continued) • Suppose you have a textbook chapter stored in your Social Studies Folder. • At the end of each section, there are usually review questions to answer. • You may want to copy the questions you need to do for homework and put them in a separate file so you can print them out along with your answers for your teacher.

  6. Defining a Block • Step 1: Move the cursor to the first character of the text you want to block. • Step 2: Type B with space. Braille Note says, “block commands menu” Type T for “top marker insertion” • Step 3: Move the cursor one character to the right of the last character of text you want to block.

  7. Copying & Pasting a Block To copy the defined block: • Type B with space. Braille Note says, “block commands menu” • Type C. Braille Note says “block copied to clipboard”

  8. Copying & Pasting a Block (continued) • You will need to create a new file so you will have a place to copy the questions. • Simply go to the main menu, create a file in the same folder and name it “Homework” and include the date or the page number in the file name.

  9. Copying & Pasting a Block (continued) To paste the defined block: With your cursor in the place you want to paste your text (your homework file) - • Type B with space. Braille Note says, “block commands menu” • Type P. Braille Note says, “clipboard pasted”

  10. Deleting a Block • Suppose that after you copied the review questions into your homework file, you realize that you only need to answer the even-numbered questions. • In this case, you can block and delete the individual questions you don’t need.

  11. Deleting a Block (continued) First, define the block. Then: • Type B with space. Braille Note says, “block commands menu” • Type D for “delete block.” • Braille Note says, “delete block? Sure?” • Type the letter Y • Braille Note says, “block deleted”

  12. Moving & Pasting a Block To move a defined block: • Type B with space. Braille Note says, “block commands menu” • Type M. Braille Note says “block moved to clipboard” • Move your cursor to where you want to paste the block. • Type B with space. Braille Note says, “block commands menu” • Type P. Braille Note says, “clipboard pasted”

  13. Embossing a File • The procedure for embossing a document is very similar to printing a document. • The following procedure assumes the setup of the embosser and the Braille Note match and use a parallel cable. • The setup for the Braille Blazie is included at the end of this module. Different embossers may require different settings.

  14. Embossing a File (continued) • With both devices off, connect the parallel printer cable to the back of the embosser and to the back of the Braille Note • Make sure the printer has paper. • Turn both devices on.

  15. Embossing a File (continued) • From Main Menu, choose Word Processor (W) • From Keyword Menu, choose Emboss (E) • At the prompt, “emboss or setup embosser?” Press enter. • At the prompt, “folder name? Press enter for …” press enter if the name is correct. If not, press space.

  16. Embossing a File (continued) • Continue to press the space (or type the first letter of the folder) until you hear the folder you want. Then press enter. • At the prompt, “document to print? Press enter for…” press enter if correct, (or space if not. When you hear the correct name press enter.)

  17. Embossing a File (continued) • The Braille Note will respond, “Embosser ready?” • If you want to print the entire file, simply press enter.

  18. Embossing Specific Pages • To emboss only specific pages type N at the Printer Ready prompt. • The Braille Note will respond, “Start page number? Currently 1” • Using the number sign first, type in the page number you want to start with, then press enter • The Braille Note will respond, “Finish page number? Currently last page” • Type in the page number you want to end with, then press enter.

  19. Setup for Embossing on the Braille Blazie Set the Braille Note as follows: • At the prompt, “emboss or setup embosser?” Press S. • At setup list, press space. Choose the following items: • Paper length - 25 • Paper width – 34 • Use form feeds - no Press E space to exit.
