Each subject change could be a link, and along with a table of contents, you would have another way of finding information. Again, it will not suit everyone, and honestly, I believe that it is impossible to do so. We all learn differently, and frankly, for me, I want information in paragraph form. However, I am not the only leaf on the tree. I have always felt that the Braillenote products were some of the most well-documented I've ever encountered. Try learning a Braille Lite where all you had on board the unit was a skeletal help file. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Sarai Sent: Tuesday, September 13, 2005 10:22 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; 'Braillenote List' Subject: RE: [Braillenote] Online user guide for mPower/wasNew TechnicalAuthor@ HumanWare That is what an index is for. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ann K. Parsons Sent: Tuesday, September 13, 2005 5:21 AM To: Braillenote List Subject: [Braillenote] Online user guide for mPower/wasNew Technical Author@ HumanWare Morning all, Although I agree with Shannon that the Index is an excellent tool, and that the manual does indeed do very well, I must remind folks that not everyone can use an index effectively. Not everyone can sift through information in paragraph form to find what is needed. It's been a while since I looked at Chapter 15, the commands list, but I remember that much of it was still in paragraph form. I think what Terry Powers is looking for is a sinple two-column list of commands with headers for each different category. <smile> I think it's the verbiage that's getting in Terry's way here. Different strokes for different folks. If there's one thing that holds true across the board when dealing with people, that is, nobody fits "the mold", even the best constructed molds. One size doesn't fit all. In this case, Terry has a special need for info in a format she can parse well. Such a simplified list might also be helpful to others e.g. non-English speakers, the deaf-blind, folks with learning disabilities, and probably some I haven't thought of. It would probably look like the Context Help except that it would be all inclusive. You'd want headers in alphabetic order and that would be it. You wouldn't want to have it in the book reader or the manual because it would need to be searchable. Just a thought for an early Tuesday morning. Ann P. -- Ann K.
