Hello there:
My name is Dave Durber. You will more than likely have seen some of
my work if you bought JAWS for Windows between September, 1997 and
July, 2001. My company, HotKey Systems, L.L.C. produced all of the
JFW Quick Reference Guides and manuals for JAWS during that period
along with numerous other projects. I hope that you all found that
the braille transcription and production of these products to be of a
high standard.
In answer to your question, I would not allow initials such as these
to be transcribed into Grade 2 braille. I always force initials to be
transcribed as Grade 1 braille. In order to accomplish this task I
have 2 suggestions that will help you achieve this purpose. These
suggestions are as follows:
Suggestion 1
1. Press the <F6> key to open the "Search and Replace" Dialog Box.
You will be in the "Find String Edit Field".
2. Type the search string that you need to find. make sure that you
type it as you described, that is, Uppercase S, lowercase h, uppercase
A, uppercase E, uppercase R.
3. Press the <TAB> key to move to the "Case Sensitive Check Box" and
press the <SPACE BAR> to check it.
4. Press the <TAB> key twice to move to the "Replace Edit Field".
5. Type the replacement string. Make sure that you type it as
follows, that is, uppercase S, forward slash, forward slash, lowercase
h, uppercase A, uppercase E, forward slash, forward slash, uppercase
R.
6. Press the <ENTER> key to accept the Search and replace strings.
7. If you are confident that everything is as you want it to be,
press the <TAB> key twice to the All button and press <ENTER> for DBT
to perform the actions that you require.
8. When the print file is transcribed into braille, the 2 forward
slashes between the S and H and the E and R will be stripped away.
The following example shows how the text will appear in the braille
file and is described as dot combinations for each of the braille
characters. Each dot or group of dots in a dot combination
representing a character is separated by a hyphen and each dot
combination is separated by a comma.
dot 6, dots 2-3-4, dots 1-2-5, dot 6, dot 6, dot 1, dots 1-5, dots
1-2-3-5
Suggestion 2
1. Press the <F6> key to open the "Search and Replace" Dialog Box.
You will be in the "Find String Edit Field".
2. Type the search string that you need to find. make sure that you
type it as you described, that is, Uppercase S, lowercase h, uppercase
A, uppercase E, uppercase R.
3. Press <SHIFT+HOME> to highlight the text.
4. Press <CTRL+C> to copy it to the clipboard.
5. Press the <TAB> key to move to the "Case Sensitive Check Box" and
press the <SPACE BAR> to check it.
6. Press the <TAB> key twice to move to the "Replace Edit Field".
7. Press the key combination <ALT+F3> to turn on Reveal Codes.
8. Press <F5> to turn on the Code List.
9. Press <G> to highlight "G1" for Grade 1 braille and press <ENTER>.
Or, Press the key combination <CTRL+LEFT BRACKET> followed immediately
by <g1> and then pressing <ENTER>. Either of these 2 methods will
insert the Grade 1 Braille code into the print file.
10. Press <CTRL+V> to paste the text from the clipboard into the
"Replace Edit Field".
11. Press the <END> key to make sure that you are at the end of the
replacement text string.
12. Press <F5> to turn on the Code List.
13. Press <G> to highlight "G1" for Grade 1 transcription, then press
the <DOWN ARROW> key to highlight "G2" for Grade 2 transcription and
press <ENTER>. Or, press <CTRL+LEFT BRACKET> followed immediately by
<g2> and then pressing <ENTER>. Either of these 2 methods will insert
the Grade 2 Braille transcription code into the print file.
14. Press the <ENTER> key to accept the Search and replace strings.
15. If you are confident that everything is as you want it to be,
press the <TAB> key twice to the All button and press <ENTER> for DBT
to perform the actions that you require.
16. When the print file is transcribed into braille, the "G1"
switches, for example, from Grade 2 Braille to Grade 1 braille until
the end of the document or until a "G2" code is encountered which
obviously switches back to Grade 2 Braille. The following example
shows how the text will appear in the braille file and is described as
dot combinations for each of the braille characters. Each dot or
group of dots in a dot combination representing a character is
separated by a hyphen and each dot combination is separated by a
comma.
dot 6, dots 2-3-4, dots 1-2-5, dot 6, dot 6, dot 1, dots 1-5, dots
1-2-3-5
I hope that the 2 above suggestions will be o help to you.
Sincerely:
Dave Durber
