Dear Booksharian Friends,
Would anyone be willing to contact me off list to explain how I can download
Bookshare Daisy books to my new computer or tell me on list if there is
anywhere I can call to speak to a tech person at Bookshare who can help me? I
read help information from links on the Bookshare home page and the
instructions make no sense to me.
I used to unzip books and enter on the XML version to listen to the book on my
computer. When I downloaded a Daisy book last night I noticed it didn’t have to
be unzipped but when I entered on the XML part of the file my monitor was
filled with words. I couldn’t see any formatting but that isn’t important to
me. The problem is that JAWS version 13 wouldn’t read anything on the page. I
need to read books to help with a personal problem. I was encouraged that there
were several books on the topic I need, but I can’t read any of them.
I was thinking that JAWS at higher speed would be faster than my usual choice
of reading the BRF files.
If I request an audio version I think I get an MP3 book but have no clue where
it is ending up on my computer. As I said earlier, the text versions are
silent. It seems to me that all of the new changes on my computer make things
either harder to do or impossible. I’m so frustrated!
Any help will be so appreciated.
Always with love,
Lissi

Hi Christina,
I only have access to Word 2010 so I'm not sure of the exact placement of these
settings but it should be similar in 2007. There is a setting on the
AutoFormat As You Type tab of the AutoCorrect settings called "Border Lines".
In 2010, it is the second heading down (Apply as you type) and the 2nd check
box. Uncheck this box.
Hope that helps,
Em

I tried Ann's suggestion which does work. However, I know there's a setting
I can change so I don't have to put in the spaces... I just can't remember
it.

Hey Christina;
I will post this question to another list to see what I get back. The other
list is really great at things like this so hopefully someone will have a
answer for you soon and don't worry, they are b/vi as well.
