if you just want 6 dot braille in outlook, do the following:

1: while in outlook, press insert+6 (that's the 6 on the number row above the letters)
2: press alt+s then b for braille settings
3: tab four times to braille marking options and press enter
3: uncheck the first checkbox which is highlight
4: tab to ok and press enter and then tab to ok again and press enter. now, press ctrl+s to save the change and alt+f4 to exit the configuration manager. that should do it for outlook, if you want globally, before doing the steps above, press ctrl+shift+d to load the default.jcf configuration file and that will remove the dots 7 and 8 from everything. hope this helps.

Hi. I can not seem to find a way to permanently turn off 8-dot mode within jfw using an Alva 544. it isn't really 8-dot mode, but when I am in outlook, the info is marked with dots 7 and 8.
I can go into jaws manager, and then to adjust Braille options, and turn off
mark with dots 7 and 8.
but I can't seem to find a way to save it.
then next time I go into outlook, it is back on.
I have looked everywhere I can think of, including in configuration manager under Braille options, but didn't see anything that would help.

Any help appreciated.

Phil
