Hi Bob and List, Okay I created the text document and it worked! Now my only concern is if the student Brailles contractions it will not read those coreectly. I'll read up on that pronounciation dictionary and see what it says. Thanks! Lisa

The problem, Lisa, is that you're writing in a Braille >file, Keyword type, format. When you do that, it says the letter all right, >but, when you hit the spacebar, it says the word for which it stands., as in >"C, space, can". To change that, you change to a different file type, such as >"text document, key^with type. Here's how you do that. >1. From the Main Menu, hit W, to put you in the Keyword menu. >2. Next, hit C, to create a file. >3. Choose your drive and/or foldg, and press Enter. >4. now, hit Backspace with X. You are now given a list of file types. Your >default file type is probably Braille file (Keyword type.) You don't want that >one!!! >5. To cycle through the list, repeatedly hit backspace with X. The next type >you should see is "text document (keyword type.)" That will work, so hit Enter. >7. Now, give the file a on, and hit Enter. It will tell you that it's a text >document; computer Braille is required, and that you're at the top of the >document. >As the kids write in the file, it simply repeats the letter, after the >Spacebar is pushed. Believe me, it's not as complicated as it sounds. You >can save that file, and make it the one the kids have fun in. Kinda the >adaptive technology version of the sandbox, eh? Hope this helped.
