Nancy, if you use the PacMate, please do not use the whiz wheels, just the 2
buttons on the top row of buttons on the right and left (right to move the
line forward, left to move it back). Just had another file of a book I was
almost finished reading corrupted by this hunk of junk! Now I have to go
back through in Word and re-do the book! Grrrr! Every book I do I read twice
and sometimes 3 times! ah well, doesn't answer your questions. Open the
file in MS-Edit. Either set the machine to speak page breaks or check on
the computer to see if they are there. When you open the file, do not be in
a hurry, wait for the cursor to start moving before you do anything. Save
your work frequently wwith control-S, do not know the BX command. The rest
of the set-up can be done basically through the settings menu. If you have
any further questions, let me know. Personally I wouldn't put out 2 cents
for the thing, but I love my braille and I hate Word so I am stuck. That is
my story and I am sticking to it! (smiles)

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] a Pac Mate delimma
Hi all,
I need to hear from someone who proofs with a pacmate. I'm borrowing a Pac
Mate Omni with a braille display. The tech guy at the loaner agency is
trying to figure out why I can't establish a partnership with active sync.
In the meantime, I bought a flash drive, put a book on it but can't figure
out how to open the file. The PacMate doesn't acknowledge the connected
device. I used a short USB cable to connect the pacmate to the flash drive.
What do I do now? Unlike my PC, there's no "my computer" and control-o
doesn't work.
I'd appreciate any suggestions.
thanks very much,
Nancy Martin
